The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing two psychologists who allegedly devised and ran the CIA’s torture program as detailed in last year’s scathing Senate report on the agency’s detention and interrogation policies during the Bush administration.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of three former CIA prisoners who were tortured using methods recommended by James Mitchell and John “Bruce” Jessen, two U.S. psychologists who were paid millions of dollars by the CIA to oversee, and at times, personally participate in torture sessions of detainees.
The ACLU is representing three men, Suleiman Abdullah Salim and Mohamed Ahmed Ben Soud — who are now free — and Gul Rahman, who was allegedly tortured to death in his cell in 2002. The U.S. never accused or charged any of the three men with a crime, the ACLU said in a press release.
The lawsuit seeks damages from the two psychologists for their “commission of torture, cruel, inhuman treatment” as well as “nonconsensual human experimentation and war crimes.”
« Entre 2005 et 2009, les services secrets américains ont fait appel à deux anciens psychologues de l’armée de l’air pour mettre au point de nouvelles méthodes de tortures.
Près de 80 millions de dollars. C’est ce qu’auraient coûté à la CIA les conseils de deux Américains, anciens psychologues de l’armée de l’air. » slate
