The possibility that US spies located Osama bin Laden with help from detainees who'd been subjected to enhanced interrogation techniques seems certain to reopen the debate over practices that many have equated with torture, security experts said on Monday.
One of the key sources for initial information about an al Qaeda courier who led US authorities to bin Laden's Pakistani hide-out was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the al Qaeda operative said to have masterminded the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, a former US national security official said.
KSM, as he was known to officials, was subjected to waterboarding 183 times, the U.S. government has acknowledged. But it was not until later, after waterboarding was suspended because it and other harsh techniques became heatedly debated, that Mohammed told interrogators about the existence of a courier particularly close to bin Laden, a fragmentary tip that touched off a years-long manhunt that ended in bin Laden's death at the hands of US special forces on Sunday
