We have your sons: CIA
March 10 2003

Two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, are being used by the CIA to force their father to talk.

Yousef al-Khalid, 9, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, 7, were taken into custody in Pakistan in September when intelligence officers raided a flat in Karachi where their father had been hiding.

Mohammed fled just hours before the raid but his sons and another senior al-Qaeda member were found cowering behind a wardrobe in the apartment.

The boys have been held by the Pakistani authorities but this weekend they were flown to America where they will be questioned about their father. CIA interrogators confirmed that the boys were staying at a secret address where they were being encouraged to talk about their father's activities. "We are handling them with kid gloves," said one official. "After all, they are only little children, but we need to know as much about their father's recent activities as possible. We have child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of care."

Mohammed, 37, is being held in solitary confinement at the Bagram US military base in Afghanistan. He is being subjected to "stress and duress" interrogation techniques.

14. I've basically giving up on anyone from america to stand up

the media is compromised, congress is made up of a bunch of cowards and the top presidential candidates are itching to prove that their tougher than bush. What's up with the rest of the world? Half of Europe seems to be complicit in some way in Bush's crimes and the other half seems to be too intimidated to say or do anything about it. Then you got China and Japan continuing to finance bush's crimes, the sell out Arab leaders are either assisting bush or are too intimidated to say anything so I guess bush can continue until he gets tired or until the entire world is at war. So Sad

19. We are all to blame...every single one of us

We gave it over without a fight, almost without a whimper.

That which was handed to us by our parents, a Free United States.

No more, no more.

2. Really civilized people.........

tell me why the US has the moral high ground now? Tell me about the values you're fighting for "over there?"

Godess on a cracker, people.

[Richard Steele]

6. No high ground. The USA has shown the world its true face.

The teeth are long and sharp, and drip with the blood
of innocents.

3. I hope Dana Perino is asked this question at the next presser

I also hope that the "child psychologists" who were complicit in this abomination are exposed and drummed out of the profession. Where are these children now? K&R

4. Don't worry, our interrogators are handling the kids with "kid gloves" -- sarcasm intended n/t

[Richard Steele]

7. Seems appropriate- "kid gloves" are made from the skin of cute little baby goats.

That's why they call them that.

5. There is no limit to the EOB (Evils of Bush).

His crimes are greater that Craig's but he stays and remains untouchable?

Where the hell is Madame Squeaker and Mouse Reid?

:thumbsdown: :grr:

8. Goddamn.

[malaise]

9. Lock up these fugging war criminals please n/t

[aquart]

10. And once we have made them hate us for life, do what with them?

In five hundred years, will someone find their bones under the Pentagon's stairs?

11. this story from 2003

I think the kids are still in "protective custody"

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. I almost fired off an email to Helen Thomas

asking her to question about this at the next presser, and then caught the 2003 date, too.

Have looked online, but can't find any recent reports about these two kids.

[Bolo Boffin]

12. Four and a half years later...

...maybe there are more profitable things to be outraged about.

[robinlynne]

13. so they ahve had these kids for one year, and think they are going to tell them what the

father is doing now? Well, that makes sense....

[MLFerrell]

15. "We have child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of care."

Yes, but I'm fairly certain that raping them in front of their father doesn't qualify as "the best of care".

And yes, I DO think that they would sink that low, or lower for that matter...

16. Bush Advisor Says President Has Legal Power to Torture Children

By Philip Watts
01/08/06 "revcom.us"

...
Cassel: If the President deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?
Yoo: No treaty.
Cassel: Also no law by Congress. That is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo.
Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.
