8:45 am
enjoy doing it somewhere to do harm to say as it of i'm in. this and be that who confessed to little cry all we're going to put to the doorstep of them and i said. go for it but it was i was really stupid the hero bag the. american said the logic says that with all too there wouldn't be $911.00. suddenly mamadou was cloths the most prisoners in guantanamo. the role of psychologist in this torture program astounds me i saw that were 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 periods. that the cia using torture.
8:46 am
i felt like there was an avalanche you can see these boulders coming down and you can wave a wand you try to stop it i could not stop what was happening. to the bloodthirst to torture people was just too great for any one person to stop. your interest. ation rules of engagement go far beyond should need a convention stress positions and sleep management dietary manipulation all of these things go far beyond a standard which says there will be no physical or mental torture nor any other form of course that's the geneva convention these rules of engagement for interrogation issued by your department are inconsistent with those my recollection is that any instructions that have been issued or anything that's been authorized by the department was checked by the lawyers in your shop in the department in the office of the secretary of defense and deemed to be consistent with it you know
8:47 am
absolutely and you see us secretary of defense donald rumsfeld was convinced that mohammed he recruited 3 of the 911 hijackers. he personally authorized a 90 day special projects status from hamas with her and 7 the order to abuse prisoners was only going to build up to that home wolf water 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 base is america's battle land. and the moment i heard that it evoked memories of nor 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 brought disease. it was very dog except close to the bloods.
8:48 am
and then he said. and then he started playing these music the bodies on 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. was. a no the 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
8:49 am
certainly in the years after that and has continued to be exploited. when i understand things you more nato entities and. i you know i've met a number of them you know so many probably more than anyone else on earth can you tell me about them. i can't specifically talk about what i have. my meetings with them or what i've learned about these men. i've met colleagues shaikh mohammad. ali bin a tosh. ramzi bin al s'shibh amaral baluchis. and. these banned were subjected to all these tactics and there is absolutely no evidence. absolutely not
8:50 am
a shred of evidence that they have these. tactics used on these men really gave us any intelligence that was important or useful to our country. we created al-qaeda in iraq that are torturing. iraq morphed into what we call isis today. the same. it's just a manifestation of torture. these are we created and we're living with those results today. you said. oh this is absolutely war crimes we knew there. this new substitute. is here to rectify 10 years of deceitful and
8:51 am
secret collusion to impede the will of the membership in the. interim still going to rise up the protest as told with the a.p.a. is coming. here to day. to reset our moral compass. we have been trying for 10 years to prevent psychologist from being part of national security interest asians with think. that it's. going to be palatable and we changed and. after being held for 3 years. it was released without charge. in the fight to get on a plane. what would have happened what i'd end up in guantanamo would these with
8:52 am
these painful with this painful period ever have happened would i be the person i have today i caught on to those questions but i do often say to myself why didn't i just get on a plane and go back. to do these confessions were found to be the result of torture. he was released without charge off to full. i was no match for them they destroyed me they would they have broken and there is nothing i could say you know to save my face of to say all i want no i do not because there are those people out a profession of doctors who studied just for this purpose to destroy human spirit and make it dependent began and make them confess to what ever they wanted them to confess to. in august 2017
8:53 am
the 2 psychologists who created the cia's torture program were about to 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 sleep deprivation 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 whole government will intensify the problem of the growing of the common.
8:54 am
what we must do is to see. its new go friendly in all unflinchingly along those. a world in which we must at last to find the response ability for ourselves. to ensure that in the fight against isis and al qaeda we continue to have all necessary. our to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down where ever we find them. and in many cases for them it will now be one tatt imo. cough them into a structured program has been announced at guantanamo bay which could see it troubled inclination. what makes this issue important when tunnel has become the calling cry tour here is some sign of american
