1:23:00
Captain, prior to receiving orders
from the accused to open fire,

1:23:03
where was the point of greatest
concern for the safety of your men,

1:23:05
the crowd below or the snipers
in the buildings across the way?

1:23:10
- I'm not really sure.
- You're not sure?

1:23:13
Well, I guess...
1:23:15
Don't guess.
I'll repeat the question.

1:23:17
Was the point of greatest concern
the crowd below...

1:23:21
or the snipers
across the way?

1:23:24
I would have to say
the snipers.

1:23:27
Did you feel an immediate mortal
danger from the crowd as a whole?

1:23:30
- I don't understand.
- You don't understand?

1:23:32
- No, sir.
- Let me help you.

1:23:38
Were you more worried...
1:23:39
you'd be killed by these people
or by these people?

1:23:42
I wasn't thinking about that.
Have you ever been under fire?

1:23:44
You didn't see the crowd firing, but
you did take fire from the snipers.

1:23:48
Is that correct?
1:23:55
Yes.
1:23:57
Our clinic is not too far
from the embassy.

1:24:01
So I was one of the first
to arrive there.

1:24:04
Did you see any weapons
on the bodies of the dead?

1:24:08
No.
1:24:09
Did you remove any weapons from
the people you were treating?

1:24:12
No.
1:24:13
Not a single weapon
anywhere among the victims?

1:24:17
No, no weapons.
1:24:19
In your opinion, is Yemen
a training ground for terrorists?

1:24:24
Not at all.
1:24:26
We met in Yemen.
1:24:29
You encouraged me to tour
your clinic in order to witness...

1:24:32
the suffering caused by
Colonel Childers' orders.

1:24:34
- Do you remember that?
- Yes.

1:24:38
I found an audiocassette
on the floor of your clinic.

1:24:41
It's marked exhibit "R".
1:24:44
Do you remember that?
1:24:49
- Yes.
- I found another one...

1:24:52
inside the embassy.
1:24:54
In fact, I found several others.
They're all marked exhibit "R".

1:24:59
Will you translate the writing on
the outside of that cassette?
