‘Interrogator #1′ to Testify for Khadr’s Defense Tomorrow

GUANTANAMO BAY — Now that former Army interrogator Damien “The Monster” Corsetti has testified on Omar Khadr’s behalf, he’ll be followed tomorrow morning by the long-awaited testimony of “Interrogator #1,” who apparently will testify to threatening the then-15-year-old detainee with sending him to another country to be raped. Bruce Coburn, one of Khadr’s attorneys, said at the conclusion of today’s session in Khadr’s pre-trial hearing that Interrogator #1 is a “crucial witness” for the defense.

The government has now presented all its witnesses for this week’s session of the hearing. Interrogator #1 will testify from a remote, off-island location tomorrow morning.
