RT on Odysee

To join the defense team for the most 'dangerous' men incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay, the only condition was to hide your homosexuality. Tim Jon Semmerling faced betrayal by his own team and was immediately fired by the Pentagon when they exposed his secret. In an unexpected turn, Walid bin Attash, considered one of the world's most dangerous men, defended Tim by writing a letter to the judge, exposing the lies of the other lawyers. Host John Kiriakou talks with former Guantanamo defense attorney Tim Jon Semmerling about the web of intrigue and betrayal by his team and how the inmates themselves came to his aid.
