In Washington,
psychologist Terry DeMay the head of the CIA's
Office of Medical Services raised a ruckus. After receiving a series
of secret messages from nurses at the black site DeMay would later denounce
the interrogation as an "amateurish experiment,"
not "safe" or "effective." To get a firsthand assessment,
Jose Rodriguez sent a team from Headquarters to Thailand. Among them were the lawyer who had recommended
Mitchell for the job and an analyst
named Alfreda Bikowsky whose enthusiasm
for harsh interrogations would earn her the nickname
"The Queen of Torture." I suggested that they be
in the room with us unmasked while we did the waterboarding so they could see
what it was really like
