how the interrogation of cia detainees were absolutely brutal, far worse than the cia represented them to policy makers and others. beginning with the first detainee, abu zubaydah and continuing with many others, the cia applied its so-called enhanced interrogation techniques in combination for days and even weeks at a time on one detainee. in contrast, the cia representations, the detainees were subjected to the most aggressive techniques immediately, stripped naked, diapered, physically struck and put in various painful stress positions for long periods of time. they were deprived of sleep for days. in one case, up to 180 hours. that's 7 1/2 days over a week with no sleep.
