Can people give money?

People can certainly give money, it's something that's desperately important to us. In terms of representing people, it's not for free, we have to fly around just to get the right to represent the prisoners in Guantanamo. The American government told me we couldn't do it without the prisoners' or their families' permission. We couldn't see the prisoners, because they are held incommunicado in Cuba, so I had to fly all around the Middle East, holding sort of meetings with family members, to explain to them that not everyone in America wanted to do harm to their loved ones and to get their permission to represent their sons and brothers in Guantanamo. And representing these guys, when we go to Gitmo, we have to have translators for a lot of clans. I try to talk to prisoners in a language I vaguely speak including English, and then really quite badly, French and Italian. And they laugh at my jokes, but I think they're laughing at me, normally, but to get an Arabic translator costs us well over a thousand dollars a day and you go there for two weeks, twenty thousand dollars. And we're a small charity, we don't have that sort of money, so we're desperately in need, always, of donors.
