"CIA Fired Firms Aiding Questioning; One Helped to Introduce Waterboarding"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"CIA Fired Firms Aiding Questioning; One Helped to Introduce Waterboarding": Today's edition of The Washington Post contains an article that begins, "Weeks after President Obama took office, the CIA extended its contract with a firm run by two psychologists who helped introduce waterboarding and other harsh methods to the agency's interrogation techniques, according to a news report. Two months later, CIA Director Leon Panetta fired Mitchell, Jessen & Associates and all other contractors that aided the CIA in its interrogations of alleged terrorists, the New Yorker reported this weekend."

The New Yorker article in question, by Jane Mayer, appears in the June 22, 2009 issue of the magazine and is headlined "The Secret History: Can Leon Panetta move the C.I.A. forward without confronting its past?"
