The New York Times reported last week that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, was waterboarded 183 times in one month by CIA interrogators.
Truth:
The water was poured 183 times -- there were 183 pours," the official explained, adding that "each pour was a matter of seconds."
The total number of applications: between eight and 10 -- not the 83 mentioned in the Times.
Mohammed similarly told the Red Cross that "I was also subjected to 'water-boarding' on five occasions, all of which occurred during the first month." Those were his five "sessions"; the precise number of applications is not known but is a fraction of the 183 figure.
