Inteview: Steven Watt ACLU Attorney on CIA Torture Lawsuit

U.S. Psychologists Face Lawsuit for Human Experimentation in CIA Torture Program,

Guest: ACLU Attorney Steven Watt

James Mitchell and John Jessen, psychologists who designed and ran the CIA's Torture operation, are being sued by the ACLU on behalf of three men who were tortured using the methods developed in the illegal program. These two psychologists devised and supervised an experiment to break Human Beings mind and body.
Human Experimentation was outlawed internationally after the crimes of the Nazi Doctors came to light. But enforcement of this ban is unlikely to be enforced when the nation committing the crimes is still a World power, dominant  militarily and economically. ACLU attorneys have found another way to bring justice for the victims and to hold the U.S.. Torture program accountable.
ACLU attorney Steven Watt will join host Linda Olson-Osterlund to talk about the torture program,  the three men he is representing in this Historic Lawsuit . Phone Lines will be opened for the 2nd half of this hour program. Tune in and Call in!
