Talk:Mohamed Harkat

Untitled

Does anyone have any extra information about the CBC report that was pulled?

---

I'm assuming the CBC.ca item you refer to is this one: The CSIS case against Mohamed Harkat. This item has been on the CBC website for several years now. They update it infrequently. But it was updated sometime in June-July 2006.

In response to perceived bias and inaccurate information in the recently updated version members of Harkat's support community - the Ottawa-based "Justice for Mohamed Harkat Committee" - complained to the CBC by phone and by email. As a result of these complaints a more recent photo of Mohamed Harkat has since been uploaded to replace the previous one. But no substantial changes were made to the text.

The primary inaccuracy that was being complained about related to Abu Zubaydah. Quoting:

"CSIS alleges that Harkat's main contact in al-Qaeda was Abu Zubaydah, a man American intelligence officials called one of Osama bin Laden's chief lieutenants. He was captured by the Americans in Pakistan, in March 2002. Abu Zubaydah is the most senior al-Qaeda member to have been captured, and is reported to be co-operating with U.S. authoritues [sic]."

According to revelations in a new book by Ron Suskind titled "The One Percent Doctrine" the information illicited from Zubaydah upon his capture and interrogation came about through torture by U.S. military interrogators. Also, Suskind claims, he was only a relatively minor operative and mentally ill as well! See The Ottawa Citizen report Harkat informant called insane. --67.70.202.114 04:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
