Colonel Jessup, would you raise your right hand, please, sir?

Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you will give in this general court martial.

Will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth shall help you God?

Would you state your name, rank and current billet for the record, please, sir?

Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, Commanding Officer, Marine Ground Forces, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Colonel, when you learned of Santiago's letter to the NIS you had a meeting with your two senior officers, is that right?

The platoon commander, Lieutenant Jonathan Kendrick.

And the executive officer, Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Markinson.

And at present, Colonel Markinson is dead, is that right?

I'd like to know just what the defense counsel is implying.

I'm implying simply that at present Colonel Markinson is not alive.

Surely Colonel Jessup doesn't need to appear in this courtroom to confirm that information.

I just wasn't sure if the witness is aware that two days ago.

The colonel took his own life with a.45 caliber pistol.

The witness is aware, the court is aware.

We thank you for bringing this to our attention.

From the time of this meeting, you gave Lieutenant Kendrick an order, Is that right?

I told Kendrick to tell his men that Santiago wasn't to be touched.

And did you give an order to Colonel Markinson as well?

I ordered Markinson to have Santiago transferred off the base immediately.

I felt his life might be in danger once word of the letter got out.

Is there another kind, Colonel, we have the transfer order that you and Colonel Marcus and co.

Ordering that Santiago will be on a flight leaving Guantanamo at 6 the next morning.

The 0600 was the first flight off the base.

Colonel, you flew up to Washington earlier this morning.

I noticed you're wearing your class A dress uniform for your appearance in court today.

Please, the court, is this dialogue relevant to anything?

The defense didn't have an opportunity to depose this witness, you, Honor.

I'd ask the court for a little attitude, a very little latitude, Colonel.

Toothbrush, shaving kit, change of underwear.

Your Honor, is the colonel's underwear a matter of national security?

You better get somewhere fast with this, Lieutenant.

Colonel, I brought a change of clothes and some personal items.

After Dawson and Downey's arrest on the night of the 6th.

Santiago's barracks room was sealed off and its contents inventory.

4 pairs camouflage pants, 3 long sleeved khaki shirts.

3 pairs of boots, 4 pairs green socks, 3 OD green T shirts.

Please the court, is there a question anywhere in our future?

Lieutenant Caffey, I have to ask you to state your question.

I'm wondering why Santiago wasn't packed.

This is a record of all telephone calls made from your base in the past 24 hours.

After being subpoenaed to Washington, you made three calls and highlighted those calls in yellow.

I called Colonel Fitzhughs in Quantico, Virginia.

I wanted to let him know that I would be in town.

The second call was to arrange a meeting with Congressman Richmond of the House Armed Services Committee.

And the third call was to my sister, Elizabeth.

I thought she might like to have dinner tonight.

Your Honor, I'm gonna put a stop for this.

Your Honor, these are the telephone records from Gitmo for September 6th.

And these are 14 letters that Santiago wrote in nine months.

Requesting, in fact, begging for a transfer.

Upon hearing the news that he was finally getting his transfer.

Not one call to his parents saying he was coming home.

Not one call to a friend saying, can you pick me up at the airport?

And according to you, he was getting on a plane in six hours.

Yet everything he owned was hanging neatly in his closet.

You packed a bag and made three phone calls.

Santiago was leaving for the rest of his life.

The fact is, there was no transfer order.
