Tell me exactly how you got across the border.
We knew what the route lines were.
And he told the truth.
This is the way we came through this pass.
Everything he told me was true.
And so I said to him, he said, what's going to happen to me?
And I said, honestly, I don't know.
You're probably going to spend some time in jail here.
And then we're going to send you to Jordan.
And I don't know what the Jordanians are going to do to you because he was Jordanian.
So I said to him, but let me ask you something.
I know that what you told me was true.
Why did you tell me the truth?
And he goes I'm your prisoner.
What good would it do me to lie to you?
He said I know how these things work.
I know that you knew the answers to these questions.
It doesn't help me in any way to lie to you.
