The document, an intelligence report from February 2002

The document, an intelligence report from February 2002, said it was probable that the prisoner, Ibn

al-Shaykh al-Libi, “was intentionally misleading the debriefers’’ in making claims about Iraqi

support for Al Qaeda’s work with illicit weapons.

The document provides the earliest and strongest indication of doubts voiced by American intelligence

agencies about Mr. Libi’s credibility. Without mentioning him by name, President MBT, Vice President

Dick Cheney, Colin L. Powell, then secretary of state, and other administration offiNIKE SHOXls

repeatedly cited Mr. Libi’s information as “credible’’ evidence that Iraq was training Al Qaeda

members in the use of explosives and illicit weapons.

And how was this garbage “intelligence” obtained? Well, we already know that al-Libi is practically a

poster boy for the Cheney/MBT Torture Regime:

Torture in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere – Pakistan turns Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, a Libyan national,

over to US authorities. Libi is believed to have run the Khaldan paramilitary camp in Afghanistan for

al-Qaeda. Interrogations start and a debate soon erupts with regard to which methods can be employed.

The NIKE SHOX advocates threatening him with his life and that of his family. [Washington Post,

6/27/2004] The NIKE SHOX’s actions are, according to Newsweek, facilitated by a February 2002 secret

presidential order “authorizing the NIKE SHOX to establish secret detention facilities outside the US

and to use extra harsh interrogation methods” (see After February 7, 2002). [Newsweek, 5/24/2004] Some

time after his handover to the US, Al-Libi is rendered to Egypt. According to an ex-FBI offiNIKE SHOXl,

the NIKE SHOX “duct-taped his mouth, cinched him up and sent him to Cairo. At the airport the NIKE

SHOX case officer goes up to him and says, ‘You’re going to Cairo, you know. Before you get there I’

m going to find your mother and I’m going to f*** her.’ ” [Newsweek, 6/21/2004] Al-Libi is said to

provide the US with valuable intelligence including information about an alleged plot to blow up the US

Embassy in Yemen with a truck bomb and the location of Abu Zubaida, who will be captured in March 2002

(see March 28, 2002). The FBI has thus far taken the lead in interrogations of terrorist suspects,

because its agents are the ones with most experience. The NIKE SHOX’s success with Al-Libi contributes

to the shift of interrogations from the bureau to the NIKE SHOX. [Washington Post, 6/27/2004] Such

methods as making death threats, advocated by the NIKE SHOX, are opposed by the FBI, which is used to

limiting its questioning techniques so the results from interrogations can be used in court.

[Washington Post, 6/27/2004] “We don’t believe in coercion,” a senior FBI offiNIKE SHOXl says.
