10:40 pm
this cia turn 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 a cubicle said downard he said out of the typewriter and together we wrote out the list as techniques that we thought. had worked well in the search cool 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 mccain what i was often referred to as a modern day equivalent a snake oil salesman. these 2 psychologists were awarded
10:41 pm
a $183000000.00 contract to run a program of torture. c n n a psychosis it's used to cameron's experiments on sensory deprivation and i haven't along with the code will see a program to create a horrific mix of torture techniques. all social change has almost entirely taken place in consequence something else. it does not control. we need to protect society from those that can think it's one small thing to kill us the strong must protect others from these people. the american psychological association is who. world's largest organization
10:42 pm
of psychologists and probably has the most influence over the community of psychologists around the world. secretly the a.p.a. and psychologists but king in the tour to president to override that ethical code to do new holland if the minute change in cia the quiet. program of abusive interrogations the program of torture at 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 criminal just being the psychologist in my office
10:43 pm
. to becoming the face of opposition to the a.p.'s position. the 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 had learned that they were not just advised that they were involved. but i was stunned.
10:44 pm
10:45 pm
it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't tailed. into the bottom is pretty famous. because so many from you know. me go feed a market economy suppose. you mean in the us at the source me note of that i notice that the same question which we know. of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption i don't know a lot about i was the other. to this day mothers still search for grown children while adults look in hope for their birth parents. in the punishment wing known as india block mamadou was isolated from only i think
10:46 pm
detainee. who could do the freed because it's video call. i was there was. i mean there was a level no food nothing so that lies with nation. the psychological and physical toll chip and i was been attended to while you 57. the medical. field because of my activism that i was glad to in getting it somewhere to do harm to their as it of them and. this it be that you confess to little crime or we're going to put you in the doorstep of the law and i say. go for it then you must i was really stupid the
10:47 pm
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 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 periods. that the cia quit using torture. 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. green for any one person stop. your interrogation rules of engagement go far beyond should need
10:48 pm
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 you see u.s. secretary of defense donald rumsfeld was convinced that mohammed he recruited 3 of the $911.00 hijackers he personally authorized a 90 day special projects status from hamas with her endless consequence and 7 the order to abuse prisoners was only going to build up to that home wolf water they
10:49 pm
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. evoke memories of what the nazis were doing experiments. to see if they started with the sleep deprivation regime. and then a massive guide rod disease. it was very dog except close to the bloods. 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 doing shackles the floor
10:50 pm
and. 2 women and a guy 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 understand things you may have more nato in t.t.'s than any other. but 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.
10:51 pm
my meetings with them or what i've learned about these. i've met colleagues shaikh mohammad. ali bin a tosh. ramzi bin al s'shibh amaral believe she. 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.
10:52 pm
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 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. interim still going to rise of the test is told with the a.p.a. he's coming. here to day. to reset our moral compass. he had been trying for 10 years to prevent psychologist from being part of national
10:53 pm
security interest asians. that it's. going to be palatable and we changed and. after being held for 3 years. was released without charge. in the fight to get on a plane. what would have happened what i'd end up in guantanamo with 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. and do these confessions were found to be the result of torture. he was released without charge after 14 years in kuantan the man. i was no match for them they destroyed me
10:54 pm
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 did not because 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 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
10:55 pm
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 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. 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 it gets. yes and. we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down
10:56 pm
wherever we find them. and in many cases for them it will now be one tatt imo. thank hoskin i'm told a construction program has been announced at guantanamo bay which could see it tripled in population. 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. the united states right now is. a terrorist attack away from instituting church. since the 950 s. we know these techniques have been yeast in afghanistan and tina australian.
