At night days soon after 9/11, the CIA turned to Dr. James Mitchell to help art an interrogation system designed to elicit cleverness from just-captured best al-Qa’ida market leaders and terror suspects.

A civilian contractor who experienced spent years training U.S. military members to resist interrogation should they become captured, Mitchell, alert to the urgent have to prevent impending catastrophic attacks, caused the CIA to put into action ‘improved interrogation techniques’–which about Enhanced Interrogation: In the Minds and Motives from the Islamic Terrorists SEEKING TO Destroy America included waterboarding.

In Enhanced Interrogation, Mitchell now offers a first-person account of the EIT program, providing a contribution to our historical knowledge of probably one of the most controversial elements of America’s ongoing war on terror. Visitors will observe him in the secretive ‘dark sites’ and cells of terrorists and terror suspects where he individually applied enhanced interrogation techniques.

Mitchell personally questioned thirteen of the most senior high-value detainees in U.S. guardianship, including Abu Zubaydah; Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the amir or ‘commander’ from the USS Cole bombing; and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the Sept 11, 2001, terror attacks–obtaining information that he maintains remains essential to earning the war against al-Qa’ida and informing our strategy to defeat ISIS and all of radical Islam.

From the interrogation program’s earliest occasions to its darkest hours, Mitchell also lifts the curtain on its immediate results, the controversy surrounding its strategies, and its own downfall. He shares his watch that EIT, when applied correctly, had been useful in drawing detainees to cooperate, which, when applied incorrectly, they were counter-productive. He also chronicles what it really is prefer to undertake a several-years-long crucial mission on the demand of the federal government only to become hounded for pretty much ten years afterward by congressional investigations and Justice Department prosecutors.

Gripping in its details and deeply illuminating, Enhanced Interrogation argues that it is essential for America to take strong measures to guard itself from its foes and that the country is less safe now without them than it was before 9/11.
