ABC's lead by Brian Ross was about the secret decision by the Central Intelligence Agency to ban an activity, which it officially never admitted using, because "it was no longer necessary." Ross was referring to waterboarding, the torture technique that creates the sensation of drowning in a prisoner. Ross' unidentified "official" sources told him that the White House has removed this form of torture from its official list of Approved Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. "Privately" Ross was told that Khalid Mohammed had been waterboarded and, indeed, the suspected al-Qaeda leader accused the CIA of torture at his tribunal, redacted audiotape portions of which Ross played for us.
Ross could not obtain any on-the-record comment from either White House or CIA about the veracity of his report, only this from an unidentified spook: "It is fair to say now the interrogation program being used at this day has changed from the one used in the past."
