Guantanamo judge says he’ll rule on whether 9/11 plotters were tortured

The presiding judge in the Guantanamo Bay military commissions case against the alleged plotters of the 9/11 terrorist attacks said he’d have to decide whether U.S. interrogators tortured the accused men.

“I guess I’ll have to rule on that,” said Col. W. Shane Cohen, who is on the bench for the proceedings at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. The judge made the comment amid a contentious back-and-forth on Friday, as the lawyer for al Qaeda money man Mustafa al Hawsawi repeatedly called the CIA’s so-called enhanced interrogations program “torture.” The lawyer used the term while he grilled Dr. James Mitchell, the psychologist widely seen as the architect of the agency’s harsh interrogation techniques in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

“The opinion of DOJ, the attorney general, or even the president of the U.S. is not binding on me." the judge declared.
