CIA Covering Up Outsourcing of Torture?
QuestionGirl December 11th, 2007 - 5:08 amSupposedly the tapes were destroyed for the safety of the agents, yet the agents are speaking publicly about the torturing of Abu Zubaydah, and we now know the CIA has contracted out torture to psychologists.

“The next day, he told his interrogator that Allah had visited him in his cell during the night and told him to cooperate,” said Kiriakou in an interview to be broadcast tonight on ABC News’ “World News With Charles Gibson” and “Nightline.”
“From that day on, he answered every question,” Kiriakou said. “The threat information he provided disrupted a number of attacks, maybe dozens of attacks.”
Kiriakou said the feeling in the months after the 9/11 attacks was that interrogators did not have the time to delve into the agency’s bag of other interrogation tricks.
“Those tricks of the trade require a great deal of time — much of the time — and we didn’t have that luxury. We were afraid that there was another major attack coming,” he said.
Kiriakou says he did not know that the interrogation of Zubaydah was being secretly recorded by the CIA and had no idea the tapes had been destroyed.
Keith Olbermann talked to Jonathan Turley (I love this guy) last night about the need for an independent review.
