abuse. and that's when i could basically stand no, oh and so suddenly i went from just being a 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 of defense and with the white house. and i learned that we had psychiatrist and psychologists who were advising the interrogation teams
1:42 pm
dan, i learned that they were not just advising that they were involved by. i was stunned in the room in it. 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. ah. driven by adrian shaped by 10 percent of those with the in the me. there's
1:43 pm
thing we dare to ask in oh, is your media a reflection of reality? ah ah, in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, for community. you going the right way for you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, ah,
1:44 pm

1:46 pm
because of my activism that i was placid in germany, somewhere to do this either because fed little crime or we're going to put you in the torture program. and i said go for it very much. i was really stupid here. the bag that i american said. the logic says that without 2 they wouldn't be $911.00. suddenly, mohammed was the most important prisoner in the role of psychologist in the torture program. astounds me. i saw that we're heading down a road that i knew was going to be disaster in 2002 mark,
1:47 pm
put his neck on the line and one tissue period. that the c i a were using torture. i felt like there was an avalanche. you can see these boulders coming down and take away your arms and you try to stop it. i could not stop what has happened? a blood thirsty torture people who is just great for anyone person to stop with here. interrogation rules of engagement go far beyond geneva convention stress positions, sleep management, dietary manipulation. all of these things go far beyond a standard which says there'll 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,
1:48 pm
in the office of the secretary of defense and deemed to be consistent with the jan . absolutely. and us secretary of defense, donald rumsfeld, was convinced that mohammedan retreated 3 of the 911 hijackers. he personally authorized a 90 day special project status, them how to do with her and the consequences. 7, the order to abuse prisoners was unlawful. but to build up to that awful order, they need a 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, going carnival be is america's battle lab. and the moment i heard that evoke memories of nuremberg, it evoked memories of what a knock nazis were doing. experiments. the 1st thing they started with was live, the professional regime ends in

1:50 pm
and i think that fear was exploited. certainly in the years after that and continued to be exploited. the understanding is you've been more native of entities than any other fashion. i, you know, i've met a number of them. yes. i met probably more than anyone else. can you tell me about that? i can't specifically talk about what i've my meetings with them or what i've learned about these. i've met colleagues shake. mohammad holly been natasha. the ramsey been she a mar, absolute she and her solid. these men were subjected to all these tactics. and there is absolutely no evidence.
1:51 pm
absolutely not a shred of evidence that, that these tactics used on these men really gave us any intelligence that was important or useful to our country the we created all to interact with our torture rock more, what we call the isis today. die each ice on the same, the chest a manifestation of torture. with these are programs that we created and were living with those results. you said that you think this is watkins? this is absolutely work. crimes. we knew there were crimes. for this new substitute motion is here to rectify 10 years of deceitful

1:53 pm
would i end up in tunnel? would these would these painful would this playful period ever have happened? would i be the person i have today? i called on to those questions, but i do often said to myself, why didn't i just get on a plane and go back to his confessions was found to be the result of talk. he was released without charge after 14 years in guantanamo or i was no match for them. they destroyed and they won. they broke me. and there is nothing i could say to save my face or to say, or i want. no, i do not. because those people out of professional doctors who studied just for this purpose, to destroy the human spirit and make it dependent b d n, and make them confess to what ever they wanted them to office
1:54 pm
or in august 2017. the 2 psychologists who created the cia 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 a wiggle. we knew it had been rented and approved. do you think it's possible, as a psychologist, that individual was subjected to them or suffered a long term visible or psychological rejection? do you think it's possible that sleep deprivation taken to the extreme could induce severe mental pain or suffering? objection? the c, i a settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. no liability was admitted. world law and government will intensify the problem of the growing of them, the 2 of the common man,
