“The two psychologists whose company made more than $80 million helping draw up the CIA’s interrogation-torture program were sued Tuesday by three former war-on-terror US detainees who claim they were waterboarded, forced into tiny boxes, starved, chained, deprived of sleep, and beaten while naked.  The suit names James Mitchell and John Bruce Jessen, who were inspired by psychological work on dogs. Their work centered on a state of ‘learned helplessness‘ from ongoing mental and physical abuse that they believed would help interrogators coerce confessions out of detainees. The suit is the first following the government’s release of the ‘torture report’ questioning the program.”
