Interview with Rodney Martin
Press TV has conducted an interview with Rodney Martin, former US congressional staffer from Los Angeles, about a new documentary revealing that the United States is training foreign-backed Takfiri militants operating inside Syria in Qatar.
What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: What does this mean exactly that according to the documentary that American troops or trainers are actually training all of these potential terrorists in Qatar? How does Washington get away with this?
Martin: Well it is hypocrisy and I will have a statement tomorrow posted at ana-ann.com but this is not new, this is not new US policy. The United States you might recall shipped persons to Eastern Europe, to hidden camps in Eastern Europe for special interrogations outside of US jurisdiction.
You might recall also that in the early 1960, the United States trained Cuban exiles to invade the island of Cuba. These are gross violations of international law as well as gross violations of human rights.
The United States is training rebels to execute wounded Syrian army troops and this is a travesty. It has relegated Qatar and Saudi Arabia to that of US vassal states and I hope President Assad takes this to the Arab League and to the United Nations.
Press TV: Well let’s look at what you have just said that President Assad takes it to the Arab League and the United Nations. But throughout than more than three years of seeing what is going on in Syria, neither the United Nations nor the Arab League seems to have done a whole lot, it appears and actually trying to stop the conflict and even condemning the things that have been going on except most of the time they have alluded to the Syrian government.
So question, is there one set of rules for much of the rest of the world and then another for the United States and its allies?
Martin: Well absolutely and there have been nations like President Assad and President Putin in Russia that have stated that but now you actually have a person.

You have a person that was sent to one of these camps that he can now be a first person witness and can actually testify to the fact that United States is a state sponsor of terrorism by setting up camps and training persons to execute wounded Syrian military personnel.
This sends shockwaves to the United Sates military, particularly in light of the fact that neocons and Zionist interests want to send our troops all over the Arab world and one shudders to think what would happen if our troops are taken prisoners given this official US policy.
