(Reuters) – Two Tunisian men who spent 12 years in U.S. custody in Afghanistan said CIA interrogators tortured them using previously unreported techniques that included threatening them with a makeshift electric chair and beating them with batons so brutally that they suffered broken bones, Human Rights Watch reported on Monday.
The accounts, which could not be independently confirmed, raised new questions about how prisoners were treated in a former CIA prison in Afghanistan that remains shrouded in secrecy.
Ryan Trapani, a CIA spokesman, said the “CIA reviewed its records and found nothing to support these new claims.”
But Daniel Jones, who led a Senate investigation into the CIA detention program, said the accounts given by the two men, Ridha al-Najjar, 51, and Lotfi al-Arabi El Gherissi, 52, were important because so little is known about the “Cobalt” black site, where an Afghan detainee froze to death in 2002.

Good!
Impressive!
And then they should have been put before a firing squad or hung.
who freak’n cares!
and how many people did these “detainees” behead, burn alive, blow up, rape or murdered.
Detainees? They are enemy combatants who are murderers and rapists all in the name of a perverted pedophile, false prophet who directs them to kill anyone and everyone who does not believe there blasphemous cult teachings.
They’re not uniformed troops.
The only mercy they deserve is a bullet
ELECTRIC chair?!?
How AWFUL!
SAVE the ENVIRONMENT!
DECPITATE them!
Okay, well…I don’t really understand one-word responses, so allow me to applaud the tiny violin in the photo. I have a wee flute. Let’s duet. (We can perform the 1st movement of the “Dems Desperation” concerto in G minor)
Trying to work up a give a fuq….nope not happening
BFD
Like they know what electricity is.
I’m shocked.
They sound credible to me………..
“accounts could not be independently confirmed”
by the way, the cia works for the central bankers not the usa taxpayers, they only fund them.
hope they don’t do that (torture) to me in the fema re-education camp.
Let me look, nope, used the last of the give a shit up when the fag muzzie shot all the gay caballeros in Florduh.
The CIA didn’t do this. They stood and watched as Afghanis with local jurisdiction tortured the shit out of them, but they never touched them. And the agents told the Afghanis, ” no…please…stop.” but they could not hear them over the air conditioning. Fortunately for us, the agents were there to record their voluntary confessions.
When it comes to the morality of using electric shock torture on Islamic terrorists, I only have one thing to say:
“Red to positive, black to negative.”
🙂
That’s if it’s DC.
It’s Black positive, white neutral when it’s AC.
When it’s AC/DC, ask Obama.
They should have turned the Filthy Mohammedan Savages into Christians by crucifying them.
Fine with me if it all saved one American life. Red is positive and Black is negative when attaching wires to nuts.
@Burner: All’s I know about electricity I got from jump-startin’ cars. You want anything more complicated than that, call Nikolai Tesla.
The proof that they lied is that they are alive. If you think the CIA is going to torture enemy non-combatants who are not protected by the Geneva Convention (rather they are subject to execution) and then not kill them, you are silly.
They danced in the streets after 911 so my “Give A FiretrUCK” meter is pegged on “I don’t care a bit” level.
