i would never forget that. i was. sort of firsts for the gentleman. one of the workers said that he's in the united states of america and what. we don't know. when the phone started to rain a lot. and how that group was able to evolve to a point. later in the 19th. with box cutters.

was lydia islam the director of our security through skype and explain to me that the u.s. government asked him to rest in the. mohamedou was accused of being the leader of an al qaeda cell in both germany and amman trailed. in the chaos president bush signed a secret directive giving the cia or 30 to kill all captured terrorists anywhere. in the years that followed several dozen krol crisscrossed the globe making thousands of flights. faced with an onslaught of prisoners the bush administration drew up a memorandum. known as the tool memos. it set out the legal basis for using these techniques in the war on terror and cited the hooded

man's $978.00 judgment. within months the cia rolled out these methods with england on the move and all its black sites. they called them in hans to interrogation techniques. the cia chon to contract psychologist who had no experience with al qaeda who had no experience with interrogations and had no experience in the middle east jim and i went into the cubicle sat down ordered a he set of the typewriter and together we wrote out the list as techniques that we thought. had worked well in the search core well i had already been told that the geneva. conventions didn't apply to the capture of detainees did not did not apply

to the couch of detainees by the authorities at the cia and so i don't think i thought about geneva convention. made became what i was often referred to as a modern day equivalent of snake oil salesman these 2 psychologists who were awarded a $183000000.00 contract to run a program of torture. cia's psychosis used to cameron's experiments on sensory deprivation and i haven't along with the cold will see a program to create a horrific mix of torture techniques. social change was almost entirely taken place in consequence something else. it does not control.

we need to protect society from those the conflict of one small thing to kill us the strong must protect others from these people. the american psychological association is the world's largest organisation of psychologists and probably has the most influence over the community of psychologists around. secretly the a.p.a. psychologists but king in the tour to present to override that ethical code to do new home if the minute change in cia be quiet. program of abusive interrogations the program of torture. i think the cia was designed by

psychologists and one tunnel was designed by a psychologist and a psychiatrist after they were trained in the techniques and in the program of the cia abuse. and that's when i could basically stand you know. and so suddenly i went crime and just being the psychologist in my office . to becoming the face of opposition to the a.p.'s position. war is a strategic business. our planning and our execution needs to be really well thought out. and it has consequences for years. i was in conversations with the department defense and with the white house. and i learned that we had

psychiatrists and psychologists who were advising the interrogation teams. then i learned that they were not just devising that they were involved. but i was stunned. that. it's taken all this time for me to build the picture of what's been involved here and the secrecy that was behind this torture program join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see of ed .

when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. but the pandemic no certainly no border is just blind to nationalities. consumers we don't have a charity we do a back seat the whole world needs to be the chief. judge of. common every crisis at least this until. we can do better we should know. everyone is contributing each in our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

in the punishment wing india block mamadou was isolated from the only other detainee. who could do the freed because it's video call. i was there was love i mean there was a level no food nothing the little isolation. the psychological and physical chip and i was being attempted to one who for 7 they go to. the medical. field because of my activism that i was glad to do and killing in some way to do harm to their as it of i'm in.

this is either who confessed to little crime or we're going to put you in the doorstep of iran and i say. go for it then you must i was really stupid the hero bag the. american said the logic says that without too they wouldn't meet $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 quit using to check.

i felt like there was an avalanche you can see these boulders coming down and you could wave a wand you try to stop it i could not stop what was happening. to the bloodthirst to torture people who was just too. green for any one person stop. your interrogation 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 the chain absolutely and u.s. secretary of defense donald rumsfeld was convinced that mohamed he recruited 3 of

the 911 hijackers. he personally authorized a 90 day special projects status from hamas with her endless consequence it 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 send 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 norman perk it evoked memories of what the not 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 the blights.

and then his thoughts playing these music and 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 have 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

understanding is you more nato d.t.s. 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. that i've met colleagues shaikh mohammad. ali bin attash. ramzi bin al s'shibh amar al baluchi. and. these banned were subjected to all these tactics and there is absolutely no evidence. absolutely not 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. you know iraq more than what we call isis today. i see the same. it's just a manifestation of torture. these are potential we created who were 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.

interim still going to rise up the protest is told with the a.p.a. this coming. through here today. to reset our moral compass. he had been trying for 10 years to prevent psychologists from being part of national security interest asians are thought. that it's. going to be politics and we changed and. after being held for 3 years. it was released without charge. and if i got on a plane. what would have happened what i'd end up in guantanamo would these with 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 after 14 years. 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 the say or i want to know i did not because those people out a profession of doctors who studied just for this purpose to destroy human spirit and make it dependent be a dia and make them confess to what ever they wanted them to confess to. in august 2017 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. do you think it's possible that our sleep deprivation taken to the extreme could induce severe mental pain or suffering picture. the cia settled out of cool for an undisclosed amount no liability was submitted. world whole of government will intensify the problem of the growing of the common. 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 responsibility for ourselves. to ensure that in the fight again. yes and. we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down wherever we find them. and in many cases for them it will now be one tatt imo. thank hoskin intel that construction 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 power that allows people to think that america will be great again.
