9/11 Mastermind: "During ... My Interrogation I Gave A Lot Of False Information In Order To Satisfy What I Believed The Interrogators Wished To Hear"
The Red Cross is the organization charged with deciding what is torture and what isn't.
The International Committee of the Red Cross interviewed Khalid Shaikh Mohammed - the alleged 9/11 mastermind - at Guantanamo Bay.
Here's what KSM told the Red Cross:
During the harshest period of my interrogation I gave a lot of false information in order to satisfy what I believed the interrogators wished to hear in order to make the ill-treatment stop. I later told the interrogators that their methods were stupid and counterproductive. I'm sure that the false information I was forced to invent in order to make the ill-treatment stop wasted a lot of their time and led to several false red-alerts being placed in the U.S. Straight from the horse's mouth:
Torture doesn't work; and The 9/11 Commission report was based on worthless confessions extracted by torture (and, as I've previously discussed, the witness who fingered Khalid Shaikh Mohammed as the mastermind of 9/11 was himself literally crazy. Thus, the title of this piece should, more accurately, start out with the words "Alleged 9/11 Mastermind").
