CIA Files Show Prisoner Waterboarded 83 Times Would Have Cooperated Before Torture
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A cache of declassified documents has revealed new details about the
CIA's torture program. Among other findings, the records show a prisoner
who was waterboarded 83 times was likely willing to cooperate with
interrogators before the torture. The account from medical personnel who
helped with the first waterboarding of Abu Zubaydah deals a major blow
to the CIA's insistence it gained crucial information through torture.
