Witness Reveals CIA Involvement in Abusive Interrogations
by TChris
Testifying from behind a curtain to conceal his identity from the public, a witness in a military murder trial revealed that he warned his "CIA bosses" about abusive interrogations of Iraqi prisoners.
He said Chief Warrant Officer Lewis Welshofer, accused of suffocating an Iraqi general during an interrogation, didnât seem to care.
âHe said he was pretty sure they were breaking those rules every day,â said the man, whose CIA ties were exposed by a defense lawyer who let the intelligence agencyâs acronym slip out during questioning. It was the first public acknowledgment that the agency played a role in Army interrogations at the makeshift prison camp where Maj. Gen. Abed Hamed Mowhoush died.
Other witnesses described the abusive interrogation techniques.
