The Interrogator
This is the never-before-told story of the ‘dark side’ of the Bush administration’s war on terror, and of one of the CIA’s biggest failures — the kidnapping, rendition, and torture of the wrong man — as told by a person who conducted the interrogation. It is an indictment of the CIA’s enhanced interrogation from the inside, from a very senior operative. It is also the story of a patriot — Glenn Carle — and his struggle to do the right thing. And, of course, to some of his ex-colleagues he is regarded as a traitor for revealing the truth. The book is Carle’s affirmation that only the truth can lead us from the dark. He had years of training and experience leading up to his...
The Interrogator
To his friends and neighbors, Glenn L. Carle was a wholesome, stereotypical New England Yankee, a former athlete struggling against incipient middle age, someone always with his nose in an abstruse book. But for two decades Carle broke laws, stole, and lied on a daily basis about nearly everything. "I was almost never who I said I was, or did what I claimed to be doing." He was a CIA spy. He thrived in an environment of duplicity and ambiguity, flourishing in the gray areas of policy. The Interrogator is the story of Carle's most serious assignment, when he was "surged" to become an interrogator in the U.S. Global War on Terror to interrogate a top level detainee at one of the CIA's notoriou...
Interrogator
Glenn Carle, CIA-Spezialist für die islamische Welt, wird zu einem Einsatz von nationaler Bedeutung abkommandiert. Er soll einen al-Qaida-Spitzenmann – Deckname: Captus – verhören, der von der Agency gekidnappt und in ein Geheimgefängnis außerhalb der USA gebracht worden ist. Er möge nicht zimperlich sein, wird ihm bedeutet. «Coercive Interrogation» oder auch «Enhanced Interrogation Techniques» nennen die CIA-Leute die neue Linie der Bush-Administration. Andere nennen es Folter. Carle lehnt Folter ab. Aber je länger das Verhör dauert, desto mehr entgleitet es ihm. Agenten «befreundeter» Dienste schalten sich ein, die Befragung wird immer exzessiver. Carle fühlt sich mitschu...

An explosive memoir about the creation and implementation of the controversial Enhanced Interrogation Techniques by the former Chief Operations Officer for the CIA's Counterterrorism Center.
National Security and Double Government
Why has U.S. security policy scarcely changed from the Bush to the Obama administration? National Security and Double Government offers a disquieting answer. Michael J. Glennon challenges the myth that U.S. security policy is still forged by America's visible, "Madisonian institutions" - the President, Congress, and the courts. Their roles, he argues, have become largely illusory. Presidential control is now nominal, congressional oversight is dysfunctional, and judicial review is negligible. The book details the dramatic shift in power that has occurred from the Madisonian institutions to a concealed "Trumanite network" - the several hundred managers of the military, intelligence, diplomati...
Does Torture Work?
Is interrogational torture effective? What do we mean by 'effective'? How brutal can torture get and still be considered justifiable? In this book, John W. Schiemann adopts game theory in an attempt to answer these questions, walking the reader through the logic of interrogational torture - and finding that it is far more brutal than proponents believe.
The Tender Soldier
Part of the Pentagon's most daring and controversial attempt since Vietnam to bring social science to the Afghanistan battlefield, three tough-minded American civilians find their humanity tested and their lives forever changed by this little-known mission.
