The CIA On Trial

From Newsweek:

Earlier this year, when justice Department prosecutors began trying to assemble a case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators for orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. told them to make it airtight. “I cannot have a case that is not won,” Holder said, a senior Justice official tells NEWSWEEK. But the team agonized over one key question: how to prosecute the detainees without the trial being derailed by embarrassing disclosures about CIA “enhanced interrogation” techniques. For months, Justice officials say, they scoured case files for evidence “untainted” by rough interrogations or other “extralegal” methods. They were so nervous about torture allegations that they even decided against using confessions made to an FBI “clean team” that questioned the detainees after they were transferred from CIA custody to Guantánamo. The reason: prosecutors couldn’t be sure the FBI agents’ questioning wasn’t influenced by information they had previously gleaned from tough CIA treatment.
