After originally redacting his declaration, the government has granted permission to Guantanamo Bay detainee to speak to Polish officials about his torture while in CIA custody.

The detainee, Abu Zubaydah, was detained and tortured abroad for two decades. Zubaydah was presumed to be a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda, and the government still believes he"was an associate and longtime terrorist ally of Osama bin Laden."

Detainees' communications normally are limited to family, but the government noted that there has already been a public court case in the U.S. involving Zubaydah that included a now redacted declaration from him describing the CIA's treatment toward him in custody.
