NEWS TORTURE GUANTANAMO BAY WAR ON TERROR 9/11

The two psychologists behind America's War on Terror torture program will give evidence publicly for the first time Monday when they appear in front of a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay.

James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen were former U.S. Air Force psychologists who designed the U.S. "enhanced interrogation" program on behalf of the CIA in 2002, and supervised its operation until 2009, the Guardian reported.

From 2005 they did so via a private company, which supplied the interrogators and security staff used at so-called "black sites"—covert CIA facilities outside the U.S. where suspected terrorists were held, questioned and tortured. Between 2005 and 2009, Mitchell and Jessen's company was paid some $81 million for the work.
