Silence Surrounds Revelations of Mueller’s Collaboration with CIA Torture Program
Over the past year, a series of revelations at the 9/11 Military Commissions (M.C.) proceedings at Guantanamo have exposed the fact the FBI worked far more closely with the CIA on the tortured confessions of “black site” detainees than we had heretofore known.
The revelations culminated in an admission via a new declassification in the M.C. trials that contrary to what was previously thought or asserted, the FBI under the leadership of then-director Robert Mueller had, according to a September 19, 2019 New York Times report, “assigned agents to the [CIA] black site program.”
Furthermore, the FBI “sent hundreds of questions into the secret prison network where the C.I.A. used torture to interrogate its prisoners, a collaboration that the bureau has never acknowledged.”
Real-time government censorship
According to reporter Carol Rosenberg, when FBI Special Agent (retired) James Fitzgerald testified in a recent military commissions session that he learned that another FBI agent had been “part of a C.I.A. team” interrogating alleged high-value detainee and current M.C. defendant Ammar al Baluchi, “the court security officer hit a censorship button and court audio was masked by white noise.”
