CIA Used Mock Executions With Gun, Electric Drill

This was done to Al-Nashiri, one of the 3 men supposedly subjected to drowning torture. It helps explain why the videotapes were destroyed of this torture. The implication of this new leak from the forthcoming release of the 2004 CIA Inspector General’s report, is that after waterboarding was ruled out al-Nashiri (because he probably nearly died during the torture), they then progressed to using an electric drill on him and mock executions using guns. Al-Nashiri says he told his torturers that Osama Bin Laden had a nuclear weapon. Obviously absolutely no one, including Bush and Cheney, believed it was credible in any way, or we would have been treated with hysterical claims by the administration that Al Qaeda was going to nuke the United States.
