commentary crisis with the system things. we can do better we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. my father had contacted many lawyers in both canada and in the united states and no one most prepared to do this they were very very brave to go

up against the government in this way that night parents thought of them as heroes and and so today david or like coach standing as a member of parliament didn't really help as much. as the powers that be an ottawa room were concerned about not rocking the boat with their american colleagues and they were about. dancing a case that was brought by one of their own members of parliament. do a lot of bizarre physical therapy is going on in psychiatry at the time. but no one had ever used the combination of very powerful drugs convulsive therapy extended sleep sensory isolation and all the other methods. she was using there had been there was never anything like this. where i grew up this was my street. you see that tree there i remember when i

could put my fingers around it we planted that tree so that trees planted in 1945 it's quite a long time ago. harvey decided to write a book about his father's experiences. as he researched the legal case he began to get a lot of attention. some strange things were happening may always arriving in our house open. there were all these strange clicks on the telephone. and then about 2 weeks after that i'm driving to pick up my kids from a school dance clear night. clear road. from behind me comes a car with no headlights on slams into me pushes me off the road and disappears. something that we haven't spoken about you know nothing like this of course ever

happened again but it. interesting questions. sarah has been making about her grandmother since 2009. i think of it. never got i never got. over. this was about history of the fifty's and sixty's. the united states would be using.

me. but i really didn't know i didn't. even existed. well good. for the gentleman. one of the workers said. that. and i will say what. i am. in my office the truth. now and when the full moon story truing

a lot. it's a little about all and how that group is able to evolve to a point where you learn later that the 19th. with box cutters was able to bring the united states war news long and. immediately milk was ordered to florida to help draw up the town of afghanistan on . labor. day to make a leap in the 2001 i made the decision life changing decision it turned out to be to go to afghanistan

and to do that with my wife my children. the war on terrorism begins america and britain strike afghanistan. on october the 7th 2001 the war on terror began its panic panic this isn't just the united states bombing sorties and come paints this is now soldiers on the ground people in the streets. killing people arresting people torturing people and on the target. muslim was captured and detained in the background base for a new. in february 2003 he was taken to guantanamo bay detention camp accused of being a member of al qaeda. he was considered high risk and for the next 22 months he was held in solitary confinement.

weeks after $911.00. and received a phone call. it was the day islam who did i told our security and explain to me the u.s. government asked him to. mamadou was accused of being the leader of an al qaeda cell in both germany and montreal. in the chaos president bush signed a secret directive giving the cia to kill all captured terrorists anywhere. in the years that followed several dozen crisscrossed the globe making thousands of

flights. with an onslaught of prisoners the bush administration drew up a memorandum. known as the tool. it set out the legal basis for using these techniques in the war on terror and cited the hooded men's $978.00 judgment. within months of the cia these methods. and all its black sites. they called them in hong interrogation techniques. 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 set down under a 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 conventions. made became what i was often referred to as a modern day equivalent of a snake oil salesman. these 2 psychologist who were awarded a $183000000.00 contract to run a program of torture. c 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 feel controlled. we need to protect society from those that can think it's one small thing to kill us the stroll this protective other stream these people. the american psychological association is who. world's largest organization of psychologists and probably has the most influence over the community of psychologists around the world.

secretly the a.p.a. psychologists but king in the tour to president to override that ethical code. if the minute change in cia be quiet it. 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 chronic just being the psychologist in my office. 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 learned that they were not just advised that they were involved. by i was stunned. again you. can. take it all this time for me to build the picture of what's been

involved here and the secrecy that was behind this torture program. in the early ninety's. a psychologist mixologist proposed to the west but an experiment. paedophiles. neglected boys experiment was a. good model. for all who want. to believe that sex with older men would help with the boy's socialization over 30 years many children were paedophiles to raise. the.

boardrooms or she didn't understand old fallbrook person. through the roof. since that other abundance of and. frankly. there's a cunning. we in the next. moment. would feel in though in cuba. tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed

to lie to the person who falsely confessed actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior. in the case is closed nobody really can tell the difference between. in the punishment wing india block mamadou was isolated from only i think detainee . recorded the freed because it's video call. i was there was loads so i mean there was a level no food nothing so the lies with. the psychological and physical toll chip and i was been attempted to one who for 7 that was.

the medical. field because of my activism that i was glad to enjoy doing it somewhere to do harm to say as it omitted. this it be that you confess to little cry or we're going to put you in the door. 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 they wouldn't meet $911.00. something the mama did was cloths the most prisoners in clinton and. 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 perry's. good to see i quit using check. 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. the bloodthirst to torture people was just too. green for any one person stop. your interrogation rules of engagement go forward beyond should need a convention stress positions 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 us secretary of defense donald rumsfeld was convinced that mohammed he recruited 3 of the $911.00 hijackers he personally go through ised a 90 day special projects status from hama to with her endless consequence that 7 the order to abuse prisoners was only going to build up to that almost all 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 burke it evoked memories of what the not nazis were doing experiments. to say they started with

the sleep deprivation regime. and then a massive guy disease. it was very dog except close to the bloods. and then he stopped playing these music the bodies on the floor all day long. you know. i cannot explain once someone is but doing. the floor. was. a no 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 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. the good i've met colleagues shaikh mohammad. ali bin a. ramzi bin al s'shibh amar al 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. we created al-qaeda in iraq and are torturing people. rockmore into what we call isis today. i see 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.

instruments are still going to rise no other test is told with the a.p.a. is coming. here to day. to reset our moral compass. he had been trying for 10 years to prevent psychologists from being part of national security interest geisha and with think if. that is. 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 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 master. 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 did not because those people out a profession of dr who studied just for this purpose to destroy human spirit and make it dependent. 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 harm. 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 and unflinchingly along to us.

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 qaida we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down. where ever we find them. and in many cases for them it will now be one tedham no. thanks. the name told a construction program has been announced at guantanamo bay which could see it tripled in population. what makes this issue important one 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. terrorist attack away from instituting torture. since the 950 s. we know these techniques have been used in afghanistan and tina australian. herself british guyland british coming canada. great britain guatemala honduras iran iraq israel if you ain't in iraq you know the 9th pakistan the philippines poland rumania. turkey you o'clock pm and.
