A U.S.-educazai captive

twice waterboarded by CIA
agents, something not pre-

beenheld since 2006 at a se-
cret prison at Guantanamo
called Camp 7. In February
2012, he pleaded guilty to
war es for joining al-
Qaida after the 9/11 attacks
and moving$50A00 used to
ford a 2003 terrorist bomb-
ing of a Marriott hotel in
Southeast Asia He also
agreedto testify against oth-
ers at war court proceed-
ings, something that has not
yet happened.
Under the plea deal, Flhan
can be released in 2031 at the
earliest, said Army Is. Col.
Myles B. Caggins III, a Pen-
tagon spokesman. Dixon
said Tuesday that a senior
Pentagon official could re-
duce the sentence, which
should be done in light of
Khan's torture.
The world first learned
some of the lurid details of
Blhan's CIA detentionin De-
cember when the Senate In-
telligence Committee r -
leased 524 partially redacted
pages of its 6,700-page
"Torture Report" on the
black sites. It recounted how
the CIA "rectally infused" a
pureed "food tray" of hum-
anus, pasta with sauce, nuts,
d r into Khan in
what wasdescribedas
quasi -medical procedure
because the captive was on a
hunger strike.
Dixonon Tuesday called
it "rape" and said, based on
interviews with IOhan that
were previously sealed as
Top Secret, he also suffered
sexual abuse such as having
"his private parts' touched
while he was hung naked
from the ceiling."
The public portion of the
Senate report, however,
does not include Khan
among those captives who
were waterboarded by the
agency. A footnote on page
104 of the Senate report does
describe agents putting him
a tub where he was
in
with ice water.
Dimon said Khan first de-
scribed that episode to his
lawyers as far back as Octo-
ber 2007, a year after his ar-
rival at Guantanamo, in a
level of greater detail that
made clear that agents were
waterboarding Khan in May
and July 2003. Pakistani se-
curity officials had raptured
him in March and handed
over to the CIA two months
later.
"An interrogator forced
Khan's head under the wa-
ter until he thought he
would drown," the account
released Tuesday said. "The
interrogator would pull
Flhan's head out of the water
to demand answers to ques-
tions andthenforcehishead
back under the water, re-
peatedly. Water and ice
were also poured from a
bucket onto Khan's mouth
and nose when his head was
not submerged."
The CIA, in a statement,
denied the claim.
'There were three detai-
nees to waterboard-
ing by CIA. Majid Blhanwas
not one of them," the state-
ment said.
The CIA also referred to
its "detailed, declassified re-
sponse" to the Senate
Torture Report—whichde-
fended the "rectal rehydra-
tion" of Khan as "the most
appropriate means." Khan,
the report said, dangerously
removed "his naso-gastric
tube," the system of force-
feeding now used at
Guantanamo.
The three men the CIA
has acknowledged it water -
boarded were the alleged
Sept. 11 plot mastermind
Flhalid Sheila Mohammed;
the alleged architect of the
USS Cole bombing Abd al
Rahim al Nashirk and the
fast high -value captive of
the post 9/fl eta, Abu Zubya-
dah, whose full name
al Hussein. Mohammed and
Nashiri are awaiting death -
penalty trials at Guantana-
mo. Abu Zubaydah faces no

Former Brazil
soccer president
facing investigation
BY BRAD BROOKS
Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Bra-
zilian federal police request-
ed that prosecutors charge
the former president of the
country's canfeder
ationwith soccerwith
related to $147 million in
"atypical" bank transfers as
he led preparations for the
2014 World Cup.
Local newsmagarine Epo-
ca was the first to report on
the inquiry, saying it had ob-
tained the police investiga-
tion into Ricardo Teireira
A federal prosecutor
spokesman in Rio de Janeiro
confirmed by email Tuesday
the investigation exists but
saidit's sealed and couldgive
no details.
Police and Brazil's national
soccer confederation didn't
return repeated calls seeking
comments. It was not imme-
diately passable to contact
Teixeira or his representa-
tives, and ifs not dear if he
has legal representation deal-
ing with the investigation.
Under Brazilian law, only
prosecutors can file criminal
charges and they then must
be accepted by a judge
According to the report in
the magazine, police have re-
quested to prosecutors that
Teixeira be charged with
money-laundering tax eva-
sion, forgery, and fats ification
of public documents related
to bank transfers made be-
tween 2009 and 2012, in the
run-up to last year's World
Cup in Brazil.
The case isn't yet directly
tied to the American investi-
gation into FIFA, but Brazi-
lian police have saidthey are
willing to assist U.S. investi-
gators ifaslm3.
The 67-yearold Teixeira,
who was once considered a
potential successor to FIFA
President Sepp Blaster, has
faced allegations of corrup-
tion before, but the accusa-
tions have never stuck
The one-time son-in-law
of former FIFA President
Joao Havelange, Teixeira
signed as thepresident of the
Brazilian soccer confeder-
ation and the 2014World Cup
organizing committee in
early 2012 after acontentious
23-year stint in charge of the
sportinthe country.
When he resigned for
what he said were medical
reasons localmediareported
that prosecutors had found
evidence linking him to a
company that organized a
game between Brazil and
Portugal in 2008 in Brasilia
Thecompanywas investigat-
ed for hregularitir in orga-
nizing the match Teixeira
was never convicted of any
wrongdoing but he was
twice invests redby Brazil's
Congress, induding over a
contract signed withNilhe
After Brazil won the 1994
World Cup, Teixeira found
himself amid a controversy
when players and officials
tried to re-enter Brazil with-
out paying proper taxes on
gifts and other imparted
goods bought by themin the
United States. Before the
2006 World Cup, prosecu-
tors accused him and a tou-
rism agency of selling ticlsts
for the event without follow-
ing legal procedures.
