Over Christmas, our Arabic-speaking Muslim producer Nazim Baksh made contact with Abdurahman -- and within a week he had confided the real story to Naz. He told us that he had been working for the CIA since mid-2002 -- including all the time he had been in Guantanamo -- that the story he presented at the press conference was a cover story dictated to him by the agency.
