The Washington Post reports an
exclusive via anonymous sources: Murdered journalist James Foley
and at least three others were waterboarded by the Islamic State
(ISIL) in Syria.
From the Post:
James Foley was among the four who were waterboarded several
times by Islamic State militants who appeared to model the
technique on the CIA’s use of waterboarding to interrogate
suspected terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. …“They knew exactly how it was done,” said a person with direct
knowledge of what happened to the hostages. The person, who would
only discuss the hostages’ experience on condition of anonymity,
said the captives, including Foley, were held in Raqqah, a city in
the north-central region of Syria.
A French journalist who was imprisoned with Foley said he also
endured “mock executions,” something the CIA also reportedly did to
prisoners at black sites overseas during the Iraq war.
