Time magazine has obtained a verified log of the torture and interrogation that Mohammed al-Qahtani, believed to be the intended 20th hijacker on September 11, underwent at Guantanamo Bay. The log's authenticity was verified by Lawrence Dorita, the chief spokesman of the Pentagon, and by numerous or a number of other senior Pentagon officials.

The conservative newsweekly published excerpts of in their latest issue, which contain the following details: "[al-Qahtani] would be interrogated for 20 hours striaght.... Christina Aguilera was one of the music that they played to keep him awake." At one point al-Qahtani was made to bark like a dog. At another, he was forced to be in close physical proximity with a female interrogator.

al-Qahtani is still being held, although he's not been charged with anything, and he has no legal counsel.
