Lieutenant Colonel Yvonne Bradley, the lawyer for British resident Binyam Mohamed, has just spoken to Britain's Channel 4 News about the condition of her client, who is supposedly near death in a hunger strike at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

CHANNEL 4's JON SNOW: "This is a terrible situation. In some ways it looks almost as if they [the US authorities] would rather he died in custody."

BRADLEY: "I put everything on the table. That's the million-dollar question: Why is he there?"

The story and interview are at the 4:00 mark of the clip.
