A Guantánamo Bay detainee's drawings show the brutal CIA torture he endured at a secret US-run prison in Thailand

Abu Zubaydah was captured by US forces after a gun fight in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March 2002. US officials incorrectly believed the Saudi Arabian citizen was a member of al-Qaida and transported him to a secret US-run prison, known as a black site, in Thailand.
In August 2002, Zubaydah, already suffering from a severe leg wound, became the first victim of the George W. Bush administration's "enhanced interrogation," which included shackling him in stress positions and confined spaces, prolonged sleep deprivation, and 83 episodes of waterboarding.
The Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the CIA torture program, which was partially declassified and released in 2014, found the enhanced-interrogation techniques were ineffective, "brutal," and "far worse" than the CIA had described them as being.
During one waterboarding session, Zubaydah "became completely unresponsive, with bubbles rising through his open, full mouth."
