What really happened in the CIA’s “enhanced" interrogations? Three former officials tell their stories.
Did “enhanced interrogation techniques” help us find Osama Bin Laden and
destroy al-Qaida? Were they torture? Were they wrong? Yesterday, three
former CIA officials grappled with those questions in a forum at the American Enterprise Institute. The discussion was supposed to be about Zero Dark Thirty. But it was really a chance to see in person
the thinking of the people who ran and justified the detainee
interrogation program. It’s also a chance to examine our own thinking.
Do we really understand what the CIA did and why? Was the payoff worth
the moral cost? And what can we learn from it?
