| - | They started to write up an interrogation plan | 0:00 |
| on a detainee Muhammad al-Katani, | 0:04 | |
| detainee number 63, | 0:07 | |
| who was supposed to be one of the hijackers for 9/11. | 0:10 | |
| Tried to enter the country in Orlando, | 0:14 | |
| a very astute CBP on assignment was a customs agent | 0:16 | |
| alerted that he was suspicious, | 0:20 | |
| would not let him in the country. | 0:23 | |
| Didn't know what it was, | 0:25 | |
| but knew there was something about him. | 0:28 | |
| When he was talked to later, | 0:30 | |
| he said, "He seemed like an assassin to him." | 0:31 | |
| And then, you know, later to find out | 0:35 | |
| that one of the hijackers was actually in the car | 0:37 | |
| outside the airport, | 0:41 | |
| waiting for him to pick him up. | 0:41 | |
| But he was sent back and, you know, | 0:42 | |
| wound up not being one of the hijackers. | 0:45 | |
| So there's been some things written | 0:47 | |
| about the real 20th hijacker | 0:49 | |
| and Bill Dedman, MSNBC, | 0:51 | |
| did a story on that a few years back | 0:54 | |
| talking about al-Katani. | 0:56 | |
| But it was with Katani is where there they started | 0:59 | |
| going down a road that I felt was illegal. | 1:05 | |
| And that was the use of... | 1:08 | |
| They wanted to desperately use waterboarding, | 1:10 | |
| face slaps, | 1:12 | |
| hitting them in the stomach | 1:14 | |
| doing walling them, | 1:16 | |
| abusing a detainee. | 1:18 | |
| And we had our lawyers look at what they wanted to do. | 1:20 | |
| We were reviewing the interrogation logs | 1:23 | |
| so we saw some of the things they were doing. | 1:26 | |
| And we saw that Katani | 1:28 | |
| almost died of hypothermia. | 1:29 | |
| They were having to give him enemas to rehydrate him. | 1:31 | |
| They were doing some very... | 1:36 | |
| putting panties on his head, | 1:38 | |
| making him, you know, dog leash on, | 1:40 | |
| like blasting music at him. | 1:44 | |
| I mean, just some amateuristic things | 1:46 | |
| that would only harden a resistance. | 1:49 |
