Day 3, week 2 of the 57th 9/11 pretrial hearings to start at 0900 at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

@ICRC The commission in recess until 0900 hours tomorrow, when defense counsel for Mr. Mohammed, Mr. bin ‘Attash, and Mr. Al Hawsawi will address the LHM statements in a closed session to present their classified arguments.

@ICRC Engle highlights a contradiction between the two interrogating agents: Gaudin testified that bin ‘Atash introduced the topics himself, while McFadden asserted that the agents were the ones who introduced them.

@ICRC In conclusion: Engle tells the judge that admitting the LHM statements carries a significant societal cost. He argues that trying the 9/11 case using these statements obtained by torture would damage the United States’ reputation in the eyes of the world.

@ICRC None of the behaviors or conditions bin ‘Atash exhibited during the LHM process support the government conclusion that his statements were voluntary.

@ICRC Engle challenges the government’s recording offered as evidence of voluntariness, noting it was translated by a linguist who does not speak bin ‘Atash’s dialect.

@ICRC During his custody, bin ‘Atash repeatedly asked CIA personnel for more food as his weight continued to drop while interrogations continued. He later passed a 25 cm round worm that further contributed to his weight loss while CIA was starving him.

@ICRC Engle argues that bin ’Atash did not differentiate among government agencies when he gave his LHM statement. He relies on Judge McCall’s findings from the suppression ruling in Mr. al Baluchi’s LHM litigation.
