CIA Cable: Eyes Only - The Next Phase of the Abu Zubaydah Interrogations

CIA | ACLU-RDI 6713
This June 2002 cable reports on a meeting held to discuss the next phase of the Abu Zubaydah interrogation. Attendees include psychologist James Mitchell. At the meeting, it was agreed upon that Abu Zubaydah was withholding information on direct threats against the U.S., domestically and overseas and therefore headquarters approved taking a "harder line" and using different interrogation techniques, beginning with isolation, which would be orchestrated by James Mitchell. If Abu Zubaydah does not provide actionable intelligence, they will continue with the post-isolation phase, which include lessening the appearance of exceptional medical attentiveness.
