The kind of interrogation
Mitchell was interested in was rooted in another
psychological experiment in which dogs were jolted
with electric shocks. The idea was to create, in animals a feeling called
"learned helplessness." To get humans into that state interrogators would subject prisoners
to SERE techniques until they were helpless
and would do or say anything. Why did you think Dr. Mitchell was qualified?
