Reporter the details of what american interrogators did to detainees in the dark days after 9 11 are vivid and gruesome. Stripped naked and diapered. One detainee chained to a wall for 17 Straight Days in a standing position. Another threatened with a drill. One left to die in a cell from hypotermia. At least five detainees were hydrated or fed through a tube inserted into the colon to give the interrogator, quote, total control over the detainee. The interrogations of cia detainees were absolutely brutal. Far worse than the cia represented them to policymakers and others. Reporter the first terrorist detained, abu zubaydah, believed to be a key al qaeda operative, was waterboarded 83 times at a cia black site.
