Mahvish Khan: My Guantanamo Diary
Hear American lawyer, born to Pashtun immigrants speak out on her new book about her experience as an interpreter and legal counsel for detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
An excerpt from Ms. Khan’s bio:
“During more than thirty trips to Guantanamo, Khan unexpectedly connected with the very men that Donald Rumsfeld called ‘the worst of the worst.’ She brought them starbucks chai, the closest available drink to the kind of tea they would drink at home. And they quickly befriended her, offering fatherly advice as well as a uniquely personal insight into their plight, and that of their families thousands of miles away.”
