CIA Waterboarded Mohammed 183X in 1 Month, Zubaydah 83X in 1 month

So much for the "ticking time bomb" scenario. That's a lot of ticking time-bombs!

Excerpt:

On page 37 of the OLC memo, in a passage discussing the differences between SERE techniques and the ******* used with detainees, the memo explains:

The CIA used the waterboard "at least 83 times during August 2002" in the interrogation of Zubaydah. IG Report at 90, and 183 times during March 2003 in the interrogation of KSM, see id. at 91.

Note, the information comes from the CIA IG report which, in the case of Abu Zubaydah, is based on having viewed the ******* tapes as well as other materials. So this is presumably a number that was once backed up by video evidence.
