Inside Afghanistan's 'Secret' Prisons




Colorado College Notable Lectures & Performances show

Summary: Veteran globe-trotting correspondent Willy Stern will talk about his experiences as the only journalist to have been inside Afghanistan's "secret" prisons. Stern found many surprises in these facilities, including conjugal huts, a first-rate toy box in a women's prison, brand-new 40" flat screen TVs, and a fleet of golf carts. Stern was even invited back for tea in the jail cells by the Taliban! He will share an inside look at the U.S. military's new strategy on detentions and interrogations in this ragged, war-torn country. Recorded November 15, 2010.
