Combative and defiant, CIA psychologist reignites torture debate at 9/11 trial
Relatives of the victims, interviewed here at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, see things differently.
On Friday, Mitchell completed his testimony the way he had started it, berating the defense attorneys. “Every chance you get, you slander us in the press,” he said. For the presumed worst of those captured, the CIA set up an ad hoc network of secret prisons around the world. An analysis by the CIA’s Office of Medical Services concluded that the program “had been little more than an amateurish experiment, with no reason at the outset to believe it would either be safe or effective.”On the stand, Mitchell dismissed this and other criticisms, then provided gruesome, detailed descriptions of the system and the brutal methods he employed.
Mitchell characterized the Guantanamo tribunal hearings as “pettifoggery, an over-emphasis on petty details.” Mitchell can often appear resentful of almost everyone. He said the CIA threw him and Jessen “under the bus,” basically blaming them for the torture program.
