### CIA Black Site - Detention Site Green
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks and the beginning of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program under President [[George W. Bush]], Thailand hosted the first CIA black site used for the "enhanced interrogation" of al-Qaeda detainees. The facility, identified in the Senate Intelligence Committee's report as "Detention Site Green," was a converted building in Thailand where Abu Zubaydah - an al-Qaeda logistics figure captured in [[Pakistan]] in March 2002 - was held and subjected to waterboarding 83 times, sleep deprivation, and other techniques authorized under the OLC "Torture Memos." Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was later reportedly also held briefly at the Thai site.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was later reportedly also held briefly at the Thai site.
The Thai government's knowledge of and consent to the black site was acknowledged in the Senate Intelligence Committee's 2014 report, which documented that foreign governments hosting black sites had been paid for their cooperation and had periodically threatened to expel CIA operations for political or domestic reasons. Thailand's role as the first black site location was not publicly acknowledged by the Thai government.[^1]
