Law & Order1990

Leon Chiles:
Many of these prisoners were tortured?

Colonel Emilio Pantoya:
Ah, well, they... hey were interrogated, let's say, vigorously. I mean, these people were very dangerous people. I mean, many of them belonged to armed groups financed by Cuba and by the Soviet Union.

Leon Chiles:
Some of them were executed?

Colonel Emilio Pantoya:
Only the ones, uh, that were found guilty of treason by a military tribunal.

Leon Chiles:
How do you explain Jason Whitman's death?

Colonel Emilio Pantoya:
A mistake. A regrettable mistake, during time of crisis. It was not sanctioned by me or by anyone under my command. I am not stupid enough to pick a fight with the United States by killing one of its citizens.
