Tomorrow night is the broadcast premiere of on PBS at 10 p.m. EDT (). Directed by documentarian Laura Poitras, The Oath tells the story of Nasser al-Bahri (a.k.a. "Abu Jandal"), Osama bin Laden's former bodyguard, and his brother-in-law, Salim Hamdan, one of the three Guantánamo Bay detainees to be convicted under the unlawful military commissions. (ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û National Security Project staff attorney Ben Wizner attended Hamdan's trial as a human rights observer, and blogged about it here.)

The Oath portrays the bizarre logic of the "War on Terror," wherein Hamdan, a man with a fourth-grade education who was paid $200 per month to be bin Laden's driver, was captured and sent to Guantanamo for seven years, while Jandal, a lifelong jihadist who took an oath of loyalty to bin Laden, is a free man after a two-year incarceration in a Yemeni jail following the 2000 attack on the USS Cole.

The film also explores Jandal's guilty conscience: we learn that during an FBI interrogation following the 9/11 attacks, Jandal named Hamdan as an al-Qaeda associate, which led to his brother-in-law's capture and lengthy imprisonment at Guantánamo. : "He’s an extraordinary subject—handsome, lively, explicit, often eloquent, and bizarrely divided in his nature."

The Oath will also be from September 22–27.
