Mr. Mohammed, the principal architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was captured in March 2003 and tortured by the C.I.A. This week, he asked a military judge at Guant\u00e1namo Bay for permission to share six paragraphs of information about Ms. Haspel with the Senate Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n
Ms. Haspel ran a black-site prison in Thailand where another high-level detainee was tortured in late 2002. But it is not known whether she was involved, directly or indirectly, in Mr. Mohammed\u2019s torture. Mr. Mohammed was held in secret C.I.A. prisons in Afghanistan and Poland.<\/p>\n
In the weeks after his capture, an Intelligence Committee report said, Mr. Mohammed was subjected to the suffocation technique called waterboarding 183 times over 15 sessions, stripped naked, doused with water, slapped, slammed into a wall, given rectal rehydrations without medical need, shackled into painful stress positions and sleep-deprived for about a week by being forced to stand with his hands chained above his head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m only surprised that Democrats didn’t provide him with first-class airfare to Washington.<\/p>\n
Ms. Haspel ran a black-site prison in Thailand in late 2002 while a detainee being held there, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who is accused of orchestrating Al Qaeda\u2019s attack on the American destroyer Cole off the coast of Yemen in 2000, was subjected to torture techniques including waterboarding. She was also involved in destroying videotapes of interrogation sessions in 2005.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I don’t consider waterboarding to be torture – I’ve watched stank-ass hippies waterboard each other in front of the White House. I doubt that they would do that if it was all that terrible. The worst part for them is having clean water touch their nasty skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
