Earlier this week, CIA Director Michael Hayden confirmed the CIA had waterboarded three prisoners in 2002 and 2003. On Thursday, Hayden admitted waterboarding may be illegal under current law. He also revealed that private contractors might have been involved in the waterboarding of prisoners. Meanwhile, the Senate Intelligence Committee is meeting in closed session today to hear evidence that suggests a former high school student from Baltimore was subjected to systematic torture in secret CIA prisons. Attorneys for Majid Khan, who is now being held at Guantanamo, say the CIA also videotaped the interrogations of their client.
