A man tortured two decades ago by the CIA for his suspected role as a terrorist has sued two former Spokane psychologists, who made millions of dollars from the government for developing the techniques used during the brutal interrogations.
Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn, also known as Abu Zubaydah, says he underwent extreme torture, including prolonged extreme solitary confinement, waterboarding, mock executions and lack of medical attention that cost him his left eye.
Zubaydah is suing psychologists and former CIA contractors Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell, who he says tortured him.
A New York law firm is filing the suit for Zubaydah with the help of local attorney Jeffry Finer. Finer declined to comment about the pending case filed in federal court in Spokane on Monday.

Never forget the names of the men who engineered Bushes torture program. Plaster these names everywhere. Call them what they are: War Criminals.
I certainly hope Husayn takes them to the fucking cleaners.
All to find non-existant WMD
And maybe some time before he dies, let Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn out of this American dungeon.
