"It was imposed upon us," says the source. "And not only [at CIA] headquarters, they were getting requests specifically from the White House."Of course, it's Gonzo who is fingered in this article. But we all know he was the ultimate yes man for Big Dick Cheney, who later promoted him to AG.
And get this bit:
Each step of the Mitchell regimen failed, according to the source present at the time. Afterwards, The CIA would ask Soufan and his FBI partner to start interrogating Zubaydah again. "They asked, 'Why does the information stop?'" said the source. "We go in again and we have him re-engage again, and we start producing information." Mitchell then wanted to resume control of the interrogation, telling Soufan, "Now we can do it in a way that we really can break him."Was that the real objective - to "break" him so that he was just a blubbering idiot who would say anything you wanted? Seems to be.
And no coincidence that the US military are experts in breaking things, including their own soldiers.
