But was Abu Zubaydah, who is still being indefinitely held by the United States under shadowy circumstances, the blue-ribbon capture that the Bush White House claimed he was? Authors John Kiriakou, who led the capture of Zubaydah, and Joseph Hickman, who took custody of him at Guantanamo, draw a far more complex and intriguing portrait of the al-Qaeda "mastermind" who became a symbol of torture and the "dark side" of US security. From a one-time American collaborator to a poster boy for waterboarding, Abu Zubaydah became a "convenient terrorist"--A way for US authorities to sell their "War on Terror" to the American people."-- $c Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Cast of characters -- Author's note -- Introduction -- Foreword -- Chapter one: The takedown -- Chapter two: Born without a country -- Chapter three: The true meaning of Jihad -- Chapter four: Life as a Jihadist -- Chapter five: The Peshawar seven -- Chapter six: The millennium bomb plot -- Chapter seven: Will the real Abu Zubayadah please stand up? -- Chapter eight: The dead pool -- Chapter nine: The road to torture -- Chapter ten: Life in Guantanamo -- Endnotes. 600 10 $a Ê»Abd al-MajiÌd, Zayn al-Ê»AÌbidiÌn MuhÌ£ammad HÌ£usayn. 610 20 $a GuantaÌnamo Bay Detention Camp. 610 10 $a United States. $b Central Intelligence Agency. 650 0 $a Detention of unlawful combatants. 650 0 $a Military interrogation. 650 0 $a Torture $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Abuse of. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 650 0 $a Intelligence service $x Evaluation. 700 1 $a Kiriakou, John. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170804010333.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=34454A4678DA11E7B166DE2097128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
