CIA Threatened 9/11 Suspect's Child: Report

According to the declassified document, one interrogator said a colleague had told Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that if any other attacks happened in the United States, "We're going to kill your children."

Futher, another interrogator allegedly told a different detainee that his mother would be sexually assaulted in front of him. The interrogator in question has denied making such a threat.

The report was written in 2004. It examined CIA treatment of terror detainees following the terror attacks of 9-11, and was declassified as part of a lawsuit brought by the ACLU.

At the same time, reports are that Attorney General Eric Holder has decided to appoint a special prosecutor to examine CIA interrogation cases, 12 in all.

Carrie Johnson reported in the Washington Post that “Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has decided to appoint a prosecutor to examine nearly a dozen cases in which CIA interrogators and contractors may have violated anti-torture laws and other statutes when they threatened terrorism suspects, according to two sources familiar with the move.”
