The Aggressive Interrogation of Abu Zubaydah

Prior to his arrival to Guantanamo, Mr. Abu Zubaydah was aggressively interrogated by the CIA at one or more of its black sites in 2002. Through discovery, Mr. Zubaydah's defense team obtained a number of documents detailing this interrogation. A source familiar with the Zubaydah case provided these documents to Ken Klippenstein and Joseph Hickman, who published them in Alternet on May 15, 2017.

CSHRA has transcribed these documents, placed them in as much of a chronological order as the redactions allow, and posted them below. You can get the original files here.
