During his first days in detention, senior al-Qaeda operative Khalid Sheik Mohammed was stripped of his clothes, beaten, given a forced enema and shackled with his arms chained above his head, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. It was then, a Red Cross report says, that his American captors told him to prepare for "a hard time."
Over the next 25 days, beginning on March 6, 2003, Mohammed was put through a routine in which he was deprived of sleep, doused with cold water and had his head repeatedly slammed into a plywood wall, according to the report. The interrogation also included days of extensive waterboarding, a technique that simulates drowning.

Mohammed, according to the memo, resisted giving any answers to questions about future attacks, saying, "Soon you will know."
The memo, while saying it discussed only a fraction of the important intelligence gleaned from Abu Zubaida and Mohammed, cited three specific successes: the identification of alleged "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla; the discovery of a "Second Wave" attack targeting Los Angeles; and the break-up of the Indonesian Jemaah Islamiya cell, an al-Qaeda ally led by Riduan Isamuddin, better known as Hambali.
"The dates just don't add up," wrote Ali Soufan, a former FBI special agent, in an opinion piece in the New York Times last week. Soufan, who questioned Abu Zubaida between his capture in March 2002 and early June of that year, said the detainee gave up Padilla without any physical or psychological duress. He also said Abu Zubaida identified Mohammed as the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks "under traditional interrogation methods."
A number of officials have questioned the viability of the plot in the wake of the changes in airport security after Sept. 11. And President George W. Bush, in a speech in 2007, said the plot was broken up in 2002, before Mohammed's capture in Pakistan on March 1, 2003.
It is absolutely crazy with all the security at the airports after 9/11 that there were any plot to hijack any airplane and crash it on a Los Angeles building.
This is a fabrication nonsense and if any admitted that any torture that was a fabrication so to placate the torture interrogators than a reality.
In the mean time under such barbaric horrendous torture what are the names of the potential hijackers of such Los Angeles plot. Any more details than that? Any one was arrested of these potential imaginary hijackers?
How they were be able to pass the security gates at the airports? with knife cutters? guns? This is absolutely crazy! Why the FBI , the CIA or George W Bush feed the American people such lies and nonsense?
