Taking a look at the extremely bizarre video of CNN correspondent Clarissa Ward supposedly rescuing a Syrian prisoner, and the huge number of questions it raises:

- More journalists have come out in defense of Taylor Lorenz than Julian Assange, who is actually in prison for his journalism
- That picture of George W. Bush with Ellen reminds me of this line from my book
- Replying to @JamesCleverlyYou have a journalist locked up in Belmarsh...
- Replying to @CharlieNashThey escort the man outside, but instead of taking him straight to a hospital or doctor - the logical thing to do with a man who has been in a windowless cell for three months, without food & water for four days - they sit him in a chair and interview him
- Access to Twitter is so important that they personally ban people from using itWe are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria. Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society. We will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with the world. #KeepitOn
- Replying to @CharlieNashWard admits she knows nothing about the man or if his statements are true. Everything in the report is taken at face value, from the guard opening the door (they were not allowed to film) to the prisoner's claims
- Twitter's policy against the 'glorification of violence' does not exist. It's used selectively for political purposes, like all its other policies
- “my poly partner said she would buy me mario maker 2 on the switch if i got a vasectomy and threw a milkshake at farage. 2 out of 2 complete, gamer achievement unlocked! haha”
- Replying to @CharlieNashPresumably, the man did not hear the guard shooting the lock off his door, or the camera crew calling out to him from a few feet away. But he appears to be in remarkably good condition. He is quickly on his feet and in conversation. He can hear the guard and the CNN crew
- Replying to @CharlieNashReceiving no response, the guard lifts the blanket, revealing a man who quickly gets up and raises his hands in the air. He looks healthy, his clothes clean, hair and nails trimmed. He says he has been in the cell for three months, without food/water for four days
- Replying to @CharlieNashThey soon stumble upon a locked cell - in a prison which has been completely emptied, the prisoners freed. "The guard makes us turn the camera off while he shoots the lock off the cell door," Ward reports. Viewers do not get to see the "guard" opening the door
