CIA: No Longer Interrogates Terrorists..The Dark Knight.. CIA PUT ‘OUT OF BUSINESS’ OF GETTING INTEL FROM TERROR LEADERS, FORMER CIA CHIEF SAYS ..

 Rodriguez disclosed new details of the shadow war on terrorism, including:

• The CIA set up its own black site secret detention facilities to make sure key detainees were not mistreated by contractors. “It is more than a little ironic that the secret detention facilities that the CIA established, at which we have been widely accused of abusing prisoners, were established in part for the express purpose of making sure that these critical detainees were not mistreated,” he wrote.
• A Muslim FBI agent tried to take control of CIA interrogations but was rebuffed, and the Bureau pulled out of cooperation with the agency’s interrogation program in 2002. However, once valuable secrets were gained, the FBI asked to be allowed back into the program but was turned down over concerns it would compromise the locations.
• One FBI agent tried to “turn” an al Qaeda leader into a Bureau informant by offering him a Snickers candy bar. The terrorist, Abu Zubaydah, called the agent a traitor and told him, “What makes you think I would turn my back on Allah for money?”
• Rodriguez personally led a team of CIA officials to brief senior House leaders on CIA interrogation techniques and was surprised that Rep. Nancy Pelosi falsely claimed she was never briefed on the program and told reporters that the CIA routinely lied to Congress. “I couldn’t believe it that someone of that seniority in Congress making statements like that, especially when I knew that not to be the case,” Rodriguez said.
• Videotapes obtained at the time of the capture of al Qaeda terrorist Abu Zubaydah revealed that he had “been to Iran or was somehow cooperating with the Iranians.”
• A corrupt Pakistani police officer learned of U.S. efforts to locate terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Karachi and tipped him off before he could be caught. He was eventually captured.
• The CIA turned down a request from Sen. Bill Nelson (D., Fla.) to be waterboarded so he could see its effect because the agency feared he would have a heart attack and die during the simulation.
