True strength is inner peace and world reconciliation

From my mortal perspective, this is a long-term physical and psychological torture of inhumans. Muhammad was strong and tenacious.

But maybe people with strong hearts are not because of how much humiliation they can bear, not because they are angry at the unfair fate and then live by patience, but because they are treated extremely unfairly, they still have peace of mind, accept all possibilities, and wait with full patience. Circumstances change. Always be grateful to the world and believe in the existence of beauty. (In Africa the law means fear, in Germany the American law gives freedom, and Mohammed he believes in all this). He reconciles with the world, he forgives everything.

Governments/authorities can work for the benefit of people, or they can abuse their power. They can incite people's patriotism in order to start a war, they can create public opinion to push things in the direction they want, and they can incite people's anger at terrorist attacks to find any suspects...

When the person in power has a script written by himself, you are just a tool for execution (Stu, who was directly appointed. I am glad that he is a righteous character after all), or even a supporter of "emotional" instigated by public opinion (people often Don't care about the truth, just want to vent my emotions...).

Nancy is really sober and clear-headed, and she maintains that everyone has the right to defend the law!

Mohamedou...I can't imagine how he endured 6 years, 1 year and 7 years in prison, how he survived inhuman torture, and he was positive and optimistic, self-taught English and insisted on writing... Because it is a true story, I have to admire this is "The Shawshank Redemption" "The same existence.

  • Nancy Hollander: You can't win a case if you don't believe your own shit.

  • Teri Duncan: Fuck... he fucking confessed.

    Nancy Hollander: To what?

    Teri Duncan: To everything. To financing 911, to hijacking the planes, he fucking ordered spreadsheets, inner workings of Al Qu'aida. Why didn't he tell us that he confessed?

    Nancy Hollander: That's not the first time in history that a client's lied to his lawyers.

    Teri Duncan: Look at this, look at his one - he admits to acquiring explosives to blow up LAFs. The millennium plot?

    Nancy Hollander: What's your point?

    Teri Duncan: He's guilty! He's fucking guilty!

    Nancy Hollander: [shrugs] Maybe he is. He still has a right to counsel.

    Teri Duncan: I'm not saying he doesn't, I'm saying that he helped to kill 3000 civilians and we're doing everything we can to get him out.

    Nancy Hollander: We're doing our job.

    Teri Duncan: I did bake sales for his legal fund! That's not a part of my job. My dad told me I'm not welcome home for thanksgiving, that's not a part of my job.

    Nancy Hollander: Get out.

    Teri Duncan: What?

    Nancy Hollander: You want turkey and pumpkin pie with mom and dad and uncle Joe? Go on, get out. Go home. You can't win a case if you don't believe your own shit.

    Nancy Hollander: [interrups] Stop fucking wasting my time! Get out.
