The Chicago cop's little-known role as a Guantanamo interrogator—called into duty as a lieutenant in the Navy Reserve—received wide attention last week in a two-part series in The Guardian. The British newspaper interviewed several former military investigators and culled details from the Senate report as well as Slahi's recently released memoir, Guantanamo Diary, to paint a portrait of Zuley as a brutal and ineffective interrogator.
When Zuley drove to the apartment building where the mother and brother of the second witness lived, he arrived as the brother was getting out of a taxi. Recognizing Zuley as a detective merely by his looks, the young man initially denied knowing anything about his brother's whereabouts, then said he knew but was not talking. He finally acknowledged he had been attacked on Argyle Street because of his brother`s involvement in the case.
A Chicago plainclothes policeman was shot in the leg Sunday morning after his unmarked squad car was hit by a barrage of gunfire near the Cabrini-Green Chicago Public Housing development.
Zuley was also profiled in Jess Bravin's book, The Terror Courts: Rough Justice at Guantanamo Bay. Bravin wrote that in July 2003 Zuley became the head of the Special Team that conducted "enhanced interrogations" at Guantanamo. Elsewhere in the book, Bravin quotes Lieutenant General Randall Schmidt, who testified that "Zuley was a 'zealot' who loved tormenting his prisoner."

Chicago has long had an institutional problem with police torture. An infamous former police commander, Jon Burge, used to administer electric shocks to Chicagoans taken into his station, and hit them over the head with telephone books. On Friday, Burge was released from home monitoring, the conclusion of a four and a half year federal sentence – not for torture, but for perjury.
A Chicago detective who led one of the most shocking acts of torture ever conducted at Guantánamo Bay was responsible for implementing a disturbingly similar, years-long regime of brutality to elicit murder confessions from minority Americans.
