An illustrated first-person guide to the CIA's torture program
The Guantánamo Bay prisoner known as Abu Zubaydah sketched self-portraits of the torture he was subjected to during the four years he was held in secret prisons by the CIA. They are gritty and highly personal depictions that put flesh, bones and emotion on what until now had sometimes been portrayed in popular culture in sanitized or inaccurate ways: the so-called enhanced interrogations techniques used by the United States in secret overseas prisons during a feverish pursuit of al-Qaida after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
