10:45 am
it somewhere to do harm to say that is it over me. this is either to confess to little cry or we're going to put you in the doorstep of iran and i said. go for it then you must i was really stupid the hero bag the. american said the logic says that without you there wouldn't be $911.00. something the mamma did was cloths the most prisoners in guantanamo. the role of psychologist in this torture program astounds me i saw that we're heading down a road that i knew was going to be disastrous. in 2002 mach put his neck on the line and then to see perry's. the to see i quit music.

10:47 am
the $911.00 hijackers he personally authorized a 90 day special project status from hamas with her endless consequence and 7 the order to abuse prisoners was only going to build up to that almost all order they need justification and so what they did was they sent a colonel. to guantanamo to look and try to justify what was going on. and he said quote tunnel bay is america's battle land. and the moment i heard that it evoked memories of norman kirk can evoke memories of what the nazis were doing experiments. to see if they started with the sleep deprivation regime. and then a massive guy disease. it was very dog except close to blights.
10:48 am
and then he started playing these music the bodies in the floor all day long. you know. i cannot explain to one someone is but doing. the floor and. 2 women. and force them on to. me know that war has a moral imperative. america after $911.00 was in shock. and i think we had been deeply frightened and i think that fear how was it exploited certainly in the years after that and has continued to be exploited. but i

10:50 am
used on these men really gave us any intelligence that was important or useful to our country. iraq morphed into what we call isis today. the same. it's just a manifestation of torture. these are programs that we created and we're living with those results today. you said. oh this is absolutely work crimes we knew there. this new substitute. is here to rectify 10 years of deceitful and secret collusion to impede the will of the membership.

10:53 am
be put on trial we were soldiers doing what we were instructed to do we knew it was lawful we knew it was legal we knew it had been vetted in approved do you think it's possible as a psychologist that an individual who was subjected to them suffered a long term physical or psychological harm. do you think it's possible that our sleep depravation taken to the extreme could induce severe mental pain or suffering protection. the cia settled out of cool for an undisclosed amount no liability was submitted. world goal of government will intensify the problem of the growing among them the 2 of the common . what we must do is to see how. you go friendly in all unflinchingly along those. a world in which we must at last to find older
