Vice News meets up with James Mitchell who was found to be the head of a program the United States set up in order to extract intelligence from captured “terrorists” via controversial forms of interrogation, i.e. waterboarding. According to news reports Mitchell personally waterboarded the so-called 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, this is his first ever public interview.

Mitchell has in fact signed a non-disclosure agreement with the CIA and therefore cannot speak on his apparent role in the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program but he does speak on a report the Senate commissioned in order to get to the bottom of the CIA’s actions during such interrogations and what is now seen to have been one of the darkest chapters of the war on terror.
