12:39 pm
with an onslaught of prisoners. the bush administration drew up a memorandum known as the torture memos it set out the legal basis for using these techniques in the war on terror and cited the hooded men's $978.00 judgment with within months to 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, and had no experience in the middle east gym and i went into a cubicle,
12:40 pm
sat down at a at a he sat down at the typewriter and together we wrote out the list as techniques that we thought had worked well in the sir 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 salesmen. these 2 psychologist were awarded $183000000.00 contract to run a program of torture. ah, you don't to camera and sensory deprivation overland along with the cold, we'll see a program to create a mix of torture techniques. social change has almost
12:41 pm
entirely taken place in consequence on something else. it has not been controlled. we need to protect society from those that can bring it once more into kills. the strong was protect others from these people who, where the for 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, secretly, p a. p a. and making colleges working in the torture program to override that
12:42 pm
ethical code of do no 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 a psychiatrist after they were trained in the techniques in the program of the ca abuse. and that's when i could basically stand no, oh and so suddenly i went trim 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,
12:43 pm
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 advised in 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. the
12:44 pm
news i think is part of mental health revolution. me increasingly freeze political claims. law firms at 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 from psychological way
12:45 pm
because news or psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problems or politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the one of the worst emma nash shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little live in real life vegas. where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v pd really is and now it's part of the machine to the american public barely remember that it happened just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demik hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman,
12:46 pm
offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people who might have been saved if they would take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines being in vegas is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. the me in the punishment wing known as india block, mohammedan was isolated from all other detainees. we call it the freed because it's very cool. i was the was level so i mean what level? no food, nothing. total isolation. like logical and physical torture.
12:47 pm
and i was in a 27 american hash because of my activism that i was placid in germany, somewhere to go home to the ltd listed 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 here. the bag that i american said. the logic says that without you, they wouldn't be $91170.00 mohammedan, was the most prisoner in the role of psychologist in the torture program. astounds me. i saw that we're heading down
12:48 pm
a road that i knew was going to be disaster in 2002 mark put his neck on the line. one tissue period. c, i a were using torture. i felt like there was an apple and you can see these boulders coming down and you wave your arms and you try to stop. i could not stop what was happening, the blood thirsty torture people who is just great for any one person. stop the peer 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 will be no physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion that 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
12:49 pm
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 do a secretary of defense, donald rumsfeld was convinced that mohammedan retreated 3 of the 911 hijackers. he personally authorized a 90 day special project status on them how to do with her in the consequences. 7, the order to abuse prisoners was unlawful 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. and he said, going to hannibal be, is america's battle lab. and the moment i heard that evoked memories of nuremberg evoke memories of what the non nazis were doing experiments. the things they started with was live the
12:50 pm
visual regime. and then in mass of guy brought to the song, it was very dog except for still applied and then he stops playing the music little small for the long you know, you, i cannot explain to one someone is doing shackle shackles on the floor. and a group of people, 2 women and a guy come and for them on to me. ah, no, that war has
12:51 pm
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 even more native detainees than any other fashion. i, you know, i've met a number of them, you know, so many, probably more than anyone outside. can you tell me i can't specifically talk about what i've my meetings with them or what i've learned about these. i've met a colleague shake mohammed highly been natasha? the ramsey been she from r l. believe she and her solid. these men were subjected to all
12:52 pm
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. i created to interact with our torture rock more than what we call isis today. di each isolate the same. it's just a manifestation of torture. with these are programs that we created and were living with those results to that you said that you think this is what this is absolutely we're crimes. we knew there were crimes for
12:53 pm
this new since she 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 be here today to reset our moral compass we had been trying to, to use to prevent psychologists from being part of national security interrogations . that mean acknowledgement, we apologize for that and we changed the stuff to being held to 3 new modem was released without totally.
12:54 pm
so i got on a plane and come back home to england. what would have happened? would i end up in one tunnel? would these, would these painful, would this playful period ever have happened? would i be the person i have today? i can answer those questions. but i do often say to myself, why didn't i just get on a plane and go back my how to do these confessions were found to be the result of torture. or he was released without charge after 14 years in guantanamo or i was no matches and they destroyed and they won. they broke. and there is nothing i could say, you know, to save my face or to say, or i one, no, i did not. because those people out of professional doctors who studied just for this purpose, to destroy the human spirit and make a dependent b d n,
12:55 pm
and make them confess to what ever they want them to cautious. 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 vetted and approved. do you think it's possible as a that an individual who was subjected to them or suffered a long term visible or psychological rejection? do you think it's possible that asked leap that provision 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.
12:56 pm
world law and government will intensify the problem of the growing and the 2 of the common man. what we must is to cl won't spread neither friendly nor unfriendly around us world in which we must at last take final responsibility for ourselves. congress to ensure that in the fight against isis, and we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrors wherever we chase them down wherever we find them. and in many cases, for them, it will now be quantized. imo de leon program has been going to move a which could be in trouble in population. what makes

this issue important? when time has become the calling cry? torture is some sign of american power that allows people to think that america will be great again. 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, presented british guy on the british camry canada, cuba, great britain, what, a 100 iran, iraq, israel. and if you a morocco, northern pockets, don't the philippine romania, thailand,
