On August 28, 2009, Horton asserted that the treatment of Raymond Azar in Bagram Theater Internment Facility in April 2009 by Department of Justice officials was identical to the now-prohibited torture techniques that CIA snatch teams had once used on "high-value detainees" during the War on Terror.
