The Huffington Post is reporting that Obama’s FBI, headed by Attorney General Eric Holder, has been torturing Americans being held in Pakistan. The 5 Americans being held alleged they were subjected to electric shock and other torture methods by the FBI.

As the Americans were being driven to a court, one of the men threw a tissue to a reporter with the following message written:

“Since our arrest, the U.S. FBI and Pakistani police have tortured us,” read the message. “They are trying to set us up. We are innocent. They are trying to keep us away from public, media and families and lawyers. Help us.”

Defense lawyer Tariq Asad said one suspect told the judge that the police gave them electric shocks and warned them not to mention the alleged torture to the media or court. The suspect, Ramy Zamzam, said police threatened to destroy their passports and their lives.

Attorney General Eric Holder has been investigating CIA agents who, under the Bush administration, used enhanced interrogation methods authorized by the Justice Department immediately after 9-11.  Obama, who has pledged an end of torture, has ordered the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison camps in an effort to improve the US image overseas.  The FBI has denied allegations that they are involved with torturing Americans.
