Accused terrorist Harkat gets bombshell help from declassified U.S. documents
Read here

Zubaydah was the first major alleged al-Qaida detainee captured by the U.S. after 9/11.
He is said to have been waterboarded nearly a dozen times. Then-U.S. president George Bush described him as one of al-Qaida's "top operatives plotting and planning death and destruction in the United States" and senior politicians, including then vice-president Dick Cheney, defended the use of waterboarding on him. |
