I'm not at ALL sure of that. But I'm sure of this because we have the document, to wit: it's in the aQ Big Book of Terrorist Procedure to ALWAYS lie about the treatment received in captivity. The manual states categorically that no matter WHAT happens to you in captivity, if you get to tell anybody a story, make it as blood-curdling as possible.

So, while there's nothing to suggest the first part of your post is true, there certainly is for the last part.
