Owing to his expertise as an electrical engineer, the dossier concludes, Salahi was also able to describe Al Qaedas elaborate communications systems, including radio relay, couriers, encryption, phone boutiques, and satellite communication links to laptops.

She told me that she thought he was doing something really dangerousthat people might think Steve was sympathetic to someone who was involved in 9/11, and go after him, her, and their baby daughter.

I asked Abu Hafs to tell me the name printed in his diplomatic passport, assuming that the identity was no longer valid. had been torturing detainees at black sites for several months; now the Guantnamo leadership wanted to understand the legal gymnastics that would be required to implement a program of their own.

Their questions were much the same, Salahi wrote, but the whole environmental setup made me very skeptical toward the honesty and humanity of the U.S. interrogators. Its not just, Yes, I did! No, it doesnt work that way: you have to make up a complete story that makes sense to the dumbest dummies. He gently held Salahis shoulder, and said, Everythings O.K. Salahi shook his head, and clicked his tongue in disagreement, but refused to speak. One of the Algerian jihadis was Ahmed Ressam, a serial thief who was living in Canada under a false identity.

On one page, he recalled the day he got his nickname, when an interrogator brought him a pillow. He was not happyhe didnt want to leave, Abdellahi told me. One of the hardest things to do is to tell an untruthful story and maintain it, and that is exactly where I was stuck., On September 8th, Salahi asked to speak to Zuley. Few locals spoke French, but since the country had been arbitrarily drawn up as a vast, mostly desert territory, populated by numerous ethnic groups who spoke different languages, there was no alternative for official documentation. An officer shouted Code Red! into a radio, and the Internal Reaction Force team raced to the scene and hog-tied him. Bad people always want to blend into a crowd, Salahi explained at the military hearing. [4] Slahi traveled from his home in Germany to Afghanistan in December 1990 "to support the mujahideen."

Two and a half years later, Salahi and his lawyers have no clarity about the parameters of x, or about why the United States has any say in whether the Mauritanian government issues a passport to a Mauritanian. (Abdellahi says that, after Salahi disappeared, the family never contacted him.) After the attacks, Cofer Black, the head of the C.I.A.s Counterterrorism Center, who had served as the agencys Khartoum station chief while bin Laden was in Sudan, assured President GeorgeW.
