Two Videos: Omar Khadr Interrogation, & Turley on War Crimes

The attorneys of Omar Khadr -- the teenager arrested in the rubble left in the aftermath a battle in Afghanistan, and subsequently imprioned in Guantanamo -- have released a two minute video showing some of his interrogation there in 2004.

Here is a longer version of the Khadr taped interrogation, via the Globe and Mail. This more extensive link is powerful, disturbing viewing, with Khadr alone in his cell, weeping, burbling "help me" over and over and over again.
