Article Details Torture That Mastermind Said He Endured
Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was subjected to the CIA's harshest interrogation methods while he was held in secret prisons around the world for more than three years, part of an interrogation regimen that the International Committee of the Red Cross has called "tantamount to torture," according to a New Yorker article to be published on the magazine's Web site today.
In a 12-page article released yesterday, reporter Jane Mayer analyzes the development of the CIA's secret interrogation techniques and writes that a confidential ICRC report to the U.S. government details Mohammed's assertions that he was tortured by the CIA. Unnamed Washington sources told Mayer that Mohammed said he was held naked in his cell, questioned by female interrogators to humiliate him, attached to a dog leash and made to run into walls, and put in painful positions while chained to the floor. Mohammed also said he was "waterboarded" -- a simulated drowning -- in addition to being held in suffocating heat and painfully cold conditions. Mohammed's captors also told him shortly after his arrest in March 2003: "We're not going to kill you. But we're going to take you to the very brink of your death and back," the article said.

Why was he even allowed to live??
Boo frickin hoo.
And why should I believe anything he says?
My God!! He was interrogated by females! Those evil CIA pukes have got to go!
They should’ve waxed his back. *shudder*
Too bad no one is allowed to post the beheading pictures
which would reveal this pseudo-torture for what it is.
Too bad no one is allowed to post anymore pics of the dead
inflicted in Spain, England, Russia, Israel and America
which would reveal this pseudo-torture for what it is.
Too bad FR is now censored so no one anywhere can see
the truth.
Harsh methods?Ha!Give him to me,now that would be harsh.
Poor fellow..it could have been worse..he could have been in an airplane that crashed into a tall building..or he could have been in that building and fallen to a most terrible death..poor guy..
Harsh methods?Ha!Give him to me,now that would be harsh.
I think that Daniel Pearls family ought to have been allowed to assist in his interrogation if they might have wished to do so. The WaPo lefty puke writer neglected to mention that this guy is who sawed of his head on camera and distributed it.
And incinerating 3,000 or so innocent men, women and children wasn’t cruel?
“Mo” should consider himself lucky he’s even allowed to breathe.
Wait until the ASPCT* hears about this.
*American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Terrorists.
Why stop at his back?
Who cares?
If you are not going to execute him, then he should be confined
to a Supermax penitentiary w/ NO visitation rights. No contact of
any kind w/ the outside world...EVER.

What? Did they pluck out his back hairs one-by-one?
Bottom line, we were able to put some major players and their operations out of business and I don’t care what our guys had to do to get that information from a scumbag like KSM.
Perhaps the CIA should have consulted with La Cosa Nostra on their techniques, we might have been able to get even more out of him
When it comes to these people, whatever it takes to get information out of them is fine by me. They can start at their ankles and fire a round through them. Move to their knees, hips, elbows, shoulder and groin if necessary. Then put one throught their forehead to be done with it.
When in Rome, do as the Romans
There go those ‘unnamed Washington sources’ again. Effing traitors.
