What was said
"There were two contract psychologists at the CIA, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen. They came up with these plans and we paid them $108 million of the taxpayers' money for it. We forced tubes up their asses and then with a pump, pumped hummus up there just to insult their culture."
Kiriakou revealed the CIA paid psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen $108 million to develop enhanced interrogation techniques including waterboarding, sleep deprivation, cold cells, and rectal feeding with hummus designed to culturally humiliate Muslim detainees. He stated these techniques were worse than waterboarding and that the torture program rendered confessions legally inadmissible, meaning high-value detainees like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed can never be prosecuted despite confessing to 9/11.
