<div><strong>I posted information to Vision2020 regarding the Spokane CIA "interrogation" psychologists in July, 2007. My e-mail records show zero responses on the list to this information, though they might be incomplete. At the bottom I forward one of my July, 2007 posts on this subject, where electroshock is mentioned as a tactic, a tactic that oddly receives scant attention in media discussions of torture against detainees. There is a tremendous focus on water boarding, and I think I know in part why: it seems less horrendous than the idea of hooking someone up to an electrical device to run electricity through their body. The use of drugs to "enhance" interrogation is another tactic that receives scant media attention. We are often not being exposed in the media to the worst of the treatment that detainees received.</strong></div>

<div>Congress probes role in controversial interrogations</div>
<div> </div>
<div>by Karen Dorn Steele and Bill Morlin, Staff writers</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Article on page A1 continuing on page A10, covering over a full half page of text (no ads on A10), a long article for a newspaper like the Spokesman Review.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The article states that an article "last week" in online <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://salon.com/" target="_blank">Salon.com</a> identified <span class="" id="st" name="st">psychologists</span> James E. Mitchell and John Bruce Jessen as developers of a <span class="" id="st" name="st">CIA</span> interrogation program used with terror suspects. The article claims that Mitchell advocated the use of electroshock during an interrogation, according to a 2005 New Yorker article. </div>

<div>Quotes from the article:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Mitchell Jessen & Associates lists its corporate headquarters as the American Legion Building, 108 N. Washington, in downtown <span class="" id="st" name="st">Spokane</span>."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"At the company's <span class="" id="st" name="st">Spokane</span> office, light jazz plays in the public hallway outside Suite 205. Behind a large dark wooden door, there is no one to greet visitors who step inside a small entrance room, illuminated with bright track lighting. A wall phone is available to call a secretary." </div>
