F.B.I. Agent Testifies That He Sent Questions for C.I.A. Detainees

James G. Connell III, a lawyer who represents one of the defendants, Ammar al-Baluchi, read aloud about 70 questions from hundreds that Special Agent James M. Fitzgerald sent to the C.I.A. in June 2003 to ask of the men now charged in the death-penalty case.
By then, C.I.A. agents had waterboarded the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, 183 times and interrogated him and his four co-defendants with other violence, sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation and rectal abuse. Prosecutors cannot use those 2002 to 2006 interrogations because the law that created the military commissions used to try the detainees requires that confessions must be voluntary.
In an effort to get confessions that would satisfy the law, the Defense and Justice Departments brought teams of F.B.I. agents to Guantánamo to question the defendants without threats, and without lawyers, in early 2007. The idea was that the new interrogators would get uncoerced, untainted confessions based on independent investigations of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The military judge, Col. W. Shane Cohen of the Air Force, has scheduled a trial date of Jan. 11, 2021. Between now and then he is holding on-again, off-again hearings on the defense lawyers’ bids to exclude the Guantánamo interrogations as tainted by torture.
