Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Guantanamo detainee sues CIA interrogation masterminds

Jun 9, 2017 9:22 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The poor jihad terrorists who murder innocents in the name of Islam sometimes later have to face tough interrogation when detained. Sympathies have been displaced and gone awry. Last year, an Obama administration official admitted that released Gitmo detainees have killed Americans. Now a Gitmo detainee is actually suing the “CIA interrogation masterminds,” and note the outrageous title of the RT article below: “Europe may provide only justice he ever sees.” Justice for victims, and even strict and necessary measures to curb the rising tally of jihad victims, is a lower priority than coddling jihadists. Of course, the leftist media is quite adept at inspiring pity for jihadists with subjective, detailed presentations about their human rights, while ignoring the victims of jihad terror and their families.

’Europe may provide only justice he ever sees’: Gitmo detainee sue [sic] CIA interrogation masterminds,” RT News, June 8, 2017:

Lawyers for a Guantanamo Bay detainee are suing the creators of harsh interrogation techniques used by the US against terror suspects in a push for data to be revealed to a Polish investigation team into a secret CIA prison in that country.

The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Washington state on May 22, was announced by international human rights group Reprieve on Wednesday.

The suit revolves around the torture of inmate Abu Zubaydah during his time at a secret CIA interrogation facility in Stare Kiejkuty in Poland between December 2002 and September 2003.

The lawsuit names James Elmer Mitchell and John “Bruce” Jessen as defendants over their involvement in the interrogation program and presence at the site during that period.

The lawyers believe they the duo have information which can be useful to the probe by Polish prosecutors investigating if Poland facilitated the creation and activities of the Stare Kiejkuty “black site.”

The suit refers to the US Discovery Law that “can allow the American courts to assist foreign governments to prosecute torturers, even if the US executive branch refuses to do so,” the Reprieve statement read.

“How absurd that our only judicial recourse against American torturers is to help foreign governments in their inquiries. For Abu Zubaydah, still held without charge by the US after unimaginable suffering, Europe may provide the only justice he ever sees,” attorney Shelby Sullivan-Bennis said.

Zubaydah is a Palestinian born in Saudi Arabia, who was detained in Pakistan in 2002 on suspicion of being an al-Qaeda operative.

He remains behind bars without charge since then, being at held in several CIA ‘black sites’ before being transferred to the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba in 2006.

Zubaydah was water boarded on 83 occasions, according to a 2005 Justice Department legal memo. He was further subjected to sleep deprivation, confinement in small spaces and stress positions, and also lost an eye while in detention.

Mitchell and Jessen’s attorney told AP on the phone that he was aware of the lawsuit but declined to comment further.

Following the 9/11 attacks, Mitchell was tasked by the CIA to develop enhanced interrogation techniques to be used in the US war on terror. His company, Mitchell Jessen and Associates, with offices in Spokane and Virginia, received $81 million from the CIA before the contract was canceled in 2009.

A US Senate investigation in 2014 ruled that Mitchell and Jessen’s techniques, which included waterboarding and sleep deprivation….

    All Muslim terrorist detainees should sign agreements to undergo advanced, professional, modern deprogramming courses that will expose them to the latest, solid, modern scholarship and the ‘Revisionist’ school of Islamic studies. Detainees will voluntarily learn that Islam is 1) amoral and opportunistic 2) unhistorical and 3) irrational and obscurantist. When detainees realize that Islam appears to be a hoax created by the caliphs, they will lose all confidence in Islam’s validity and cease for life to be jihadists. Professional, modern deprogramming of Muslims is the responsibility of the state intelligence agencies.

      Mortimer, Please tell us where and when any deprogramming has been successful. Please also show what you have to support the idea that a Muslim, who is taught 5 times a day for most of his life that lying to an infidel whenever advantage can be obtained, is going to change his mind and lifelong commitment subject to a death penalty so that he will convert away from Islam and publicly disavow its fundamental teachings.. I have not seen anything of the sort, but wonder if you have.

      Deprogramming is a dodge and a deception, a true Viktor Frankl “delusion of reprieve” that distracts from more productive efforts to resist a determined enemy of liberty. To me this is a proposal from one who might be afraid to face the truth and fight. Islam appears to me to be a form of rabies in humans that has entered its final and untreatable stage. When many government agencies have been deliberately infected by collaborators with Islam, why on earth would you depend on them to deprogram themselves or trust them to deprogram others?

        Mortimer, as I recall another issue is included in your proposal to deprogram jihadi rapists, killers and vandals: After Tarasoff v. Board of Regents, what psychiatrist or psychologist is going to certify with his license, life and wealth that a jihadi has “seen the light” and will not return to killing, raping and looting? Why are you proposing something that you do not seem to be able to support? Islam has taught and supported evil for 1400 years. It is reinforced as much as 5 times a day to a devout practitioner. Commitments of any kind to infidels are utterly meaningless. Where do you get your idea that you can change this?

    Islamics lie all the time and are taught to use the rules of non-Islamic societies against the societies. This is why people like this were simply killed when captured in the old days when Islamics were attacking people. Nothing an Islamics claims can ever be taken at face value and he was treated much better than an Islamic treats their prisoners.

    If I were Trump, I’d give the orders to waterboard the bastard EVERY DAY – just for daring to sue the US Gov’t!!

    I love the Leftist propaganda. He is a Palestinian born in Saudi Arabia and then grew up or found his niche in Pakestan. He’s not a Palestinian boys.

    Attornies for the terrorists against the US and her good people you are either very STUPID OR HAVE GREAT BODY GUARDS I’m afraid you will need them but I’m not optimistic for your safety!

    You should be on the side of the Real victims FOOLS
