6:39 pm
making thousands of life faced with an onslaught of prisoners. the bushes administration drew up a memorandum known as the torture memos it set out the legal basis. been using these techniques in the war on terror and cited the hooded men, 978 judgment. the within months ca rolled out these methods with in guantanamo and all its black sites. they call them enhanced interrogation techniques to see a turn to contracts psychologist who had no experience with our cader, who had no experience with interrogations,
6:40 pm
and had no experience in the middle east gym. and i went into a cubicle, sat down at a a. he sat down at the typewriter and together we wrote out the list as techniques that we thought had worked well in the school. well, i had already been told that the geneva conventions didn't apply to the capture detainee did not, did not apply to the capture detainees by the attorneys at the cia. and so i don't think i thought about geneva convention may became what i often refer to as a modern day equivalent, a snake oil salesman. these 2 psychologist were awarded $183000000.00 contract to run a program of torture. ah, you don't to camera sensory deprivation overland along with the cold, we'll see
6:41 pm
a program to create a mix of torture techniques. social change has almost entirely taken place in consequence on something else. it does not being controlled . we need to protect society from those that can bring it once more into kills. the strong must protect others from these people who are not barber. the american psychological association is world's largest organization of psychologists, and probably has the most influence over the community of psychologists around the world. ah,
6:42 pm
secretly b a p a and make it my colleges working in the torture program to override that ethical code of do new home if the military and ca required it a program of abusive interrogations. the program of torture at the ca was designed by psychologists and at guantanamo was designed by a psychologist and the psychiatrists after they were trained in the techniques in the program of the ca, abuse. and that's when i could basically stand no. 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
6:43 pm
needs to be really well thought out. and it has consequences for year. 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 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.
6:44 pm
6:45 pm
6:46 pm
we call it the freed because they call i was the was the level. so, i mean, what is the level no food, nothing. total isolation, psychological and physical torture. and i would be in a $27.00 american hash because of my activism that i was placid in germany, somewhere to do this either because that 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 head of exit. i. american said the logic says that without do
6:47 pm
they wouldn't be $911.00 suddenly, mohammedan was the most 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 put his neck on the line one tissue period. to see when 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. but i could not stop. it has happened. a blood thirsty torture people who is just great for any one person to stop the peer interrogation rules of engagement go far beyond geneva convention stress positions, sleep management,
6:48 pm
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, in the office of the secretary of defense and deemed to be consistent with the jan . absolutely. and you to a secretary of defense, donald rumsfeld was convinced that mohammed to retreated 3 of the $911.00 hijackers, he personally authorized a 90 day special project status, them how to do with her and as consequences. 7, the order to abuse prisoners was unlawful. but to build up to that unlawful 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.
6:49 pm

6:50 pm
a guy come and force them on to me. the know that war has a moral imperative. america after $911.00 was shocked. and i think we had been deeply frightened 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 nino of the tv than any other person. 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
6:51 pm
learned about these i've met police 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. 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 our to in iraq or torture rock more what we call the isis today. die each ice or the same,
6:52 pm
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 who this is absolutely work. crimes we knew there were crimes for this. new substitute motion is here to rectify 10 years of deceitful and secret collusion to n p, the will of the membership into the other protested battle with the a p a was coming to and here today to reset our moral compass we had been trying to use to prevent psychologists from being part of national security interrogation,
6:53 pm

6:54 pm
they won. they broke me. and there is nothing i could say to save my face or to say, or i won. no, i did not. because those people out of professional doctors who studied just for this purpose, to destroy human spirit and make it dependent b, d n, and make them confess to what ever they wanted them to cautious them 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 an individual who was subjected to them or suffered long term visible or psychological rejection?
6:55 pm
do you think it's possible that i sleep deprivation taken to the extreme could induce severe mental pain or suffering? jackson? 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. what we must is to cl world spread neither friendly nor unfriendly orlando's world in which we must at last take final responsibility for ourselves to ensure that in the fighting isis. and we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrace wherever we chase them down wherever we
6:56 pm
find them. and in many cases, for them, it will now be wanted, imo de leon program has been going to move a which could see trouble in population. what makes this issue in guantanamo has become the calling cry. torture is some sign of american power that allows people to think that america will be great. again the united states right now is one terrorist attacks away from re instituting torture. since the 1950s, we know these techniques have been used in afghanistan, argentina, australia, sonia, present, british guy on the british camry,
6:57 pm
6:59 pm
me ah, i think is part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims. the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree with something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your evidence or logic. you say your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said your heart be again some psychological way because those are psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problem for politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the the,
