Who Knows Where These Children Are?

I don't need any photos to stir my conscience or disturb my sleep any more than it already is.

What became of these little children???

3/10/2003
Two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, are being used by the CIA to force their father to talk.

Yousef al-Khalid, 9, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, 7, were taken into custody in Pakistan in September when intelligence officers raided a flat in Karachi where their father had been hiding.

Mohammed fled just hours before the raid but his sons and another senior al-Qaeda member were found cowering behind a wardrobe in the apartment.

The boys have been held by the Pakistani authorities but this weekend they were flown to America where they will be questioned about their father. CIA interrogators confirmed that the boys were staying at a secret address where they were being encouraged to talk about their father's activities. "We are handling them with kid gloves," said one official. "After all, they are only little children, but we need to know as much about their father's recent activities as possible. We have child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of care."

Mohammed, 37, is being held in solitary confinement at the Bagram US military base in Afghanistan. He is being subjected to "stress and duress" interrogation techniques.


He has been told that his sons are being held and is being urged to divulge future attacks against the West and reveal the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden.

I read this article years ago now, and posted it in a group I belonged to.
No one seems to be able to explain what has happened to these two children- little children who were in the custody of our "CIA".

How would America respond if the situation were reversed?

Were their testicles crushed? Were they waterboarded? What did the "child psychologists" who oversaw their captivity say they could endure??

Are they still alive?

1. yes, that is one of the questions which has not be answered

what happened to all the victims of our EIT?
How about the women who were raped and released and then honor killed by their families?
How about prisoners who were released and then murdered by their countrymen because they were believed to have cooperated with us.
God only knows that would happen to a boy who was violated, but somehow I don't expect a happy ending.

There are direct impacts and indirect impacts from our aggregious actions.
And we still don't know and don't want to know how many civilians we've killed

America has become the land of "no one is responsible".

2. there were children of 9, 10, 11

held at Abu Ghraib. my stepson was there, he saw it. I dont know what happened to them either.
will anyone in power step forward and condemn it? or is it going to continue to be covered up.

3. cover it up of course

because everyone in the world knows everything already so there's no there, there.

4. these children were younger than Malia and Sasha when they were

taken by the CIA-

How many people in the US even know this happened?

Who is advocating for them? Certainly not their father- Who cares about them?


Who the FUCK gave the US the right to kidnap these children??? With all the arguments over torture photos- what about taking two children and using them as objects to torture their father?

Where is the outrage for this?
