Majid Khan: 我在CIA黑狱中遭受了多年的酷刑，包括水刑、吊刑、睡眠剥夺等。这些酷刑不仅造成了我巨大的身体和精神痛苦，也让我对美国政府的正义感产生了质疑。尽管我犯下了错误，但我仍然相信应有的法律程序。我认罪并与政府合作，是为了换取公开讲述自己遭受酷刑经历的机会，并希望以此作为获得较轻判决的筹码。我并不认同911袭击，但理解当时我被误导的逻辑。我真诚地为自己的行为道歉，并希望能够开始新的生活。 Dana Chivers: 麦吉德·汗的故事展现了美国政府在反恐战争中所犯下的错误。CIA对他的酷刑是违反人权的，而关塔那摩监狱的待遇也同样令人发指。麦吉德·汗的案件是美国反恐战争中一个具有代表性的案例，它揭示了在追求国家安全的同时，如何维护人权和法律程序的平衡。麦吉德·汗的认罪协议和最终的判决结果，也反映了美国司法体系的复杂性和局限性。
