In the years that followed the 9/11 attacks, the CIA used Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs), such as sleep deprivation and waterboarding, on high-value terrorists.  But did EITs work in stopping attacks and capturing terrorists? 

In this episode, James Mitchell, a psychologist who helped craft the CIA’s EIT program, tells us why he thinks they were effective.

What was it like to use EITs on 9/11’s chief planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?  Listen now to hear Dr. Mitchell give his first-hand account. 

Mitchell’s book Enhanced Interrogation: Inside the Minds and Motives of the Islamic Terrorists Trying to Destroy America is in stores now.
