:02:44. > :02:49.detention in Guantanamo Bay. You know I mean business. This is where

:03:04. > :03:09.resort to booby-traps and suicide bombers to try and slow down the

:03:19. > :03:24.eventually taken to the US base in Kandahar. In 2002 he was transferred

:24:53. > :24:54.of the last debates and possibly the youngest DUP member's
:24:55. > :24:57.contribution, it did get me down because he stood up looking sympathy
