Today we post the first of two parts of , 鈥淎 Ponzi Scheme of Torture.鈥�

This chapter connects the interrogations of Abu Zubaydah, Jose Padilla, and Binyam Mohamed, three people who were allegedly involved in a "dirty bomb" plot that grew more fantastical the more the men were tortured. It traces how torture begat torture, first because bad information extracted through abusive interrogations led to more torture and more bad information, and finally because interrogations were being conducted not only, as the Bush administration has insisted, to produce new intelligence to thwart impending attacks but also to force confessions and extract information that it would use to justify its detention and torture of others.

At the center of this Chapter's 鈥淧onzi scheme of torture鈥� is Binyam Mohamed, a U.K.-based Ethiopian 茅migr茅 who was arrested in Pakistan in April 2002, abused, flown to Morocco and tortured for 18 months, then flown to a secret CIA prison in Afghanistan , where he was again tortured, and finally delivered, in September 2004, to Guant谩namo. Once called Jose Padilla's accomplice in several diabolical terror plots and identified, with , as the source of information about those planned attacks, Mohamed was released last year and is now living as a free man in London.

Part 1 of this , which we are posting today, is called 鈥淭he Scheme;鈥� Part 2, which will be posted next week, is entitled, 鈥淭he Story Unravels.鈥�
