Everybody wants to talk to someone…
Everybody wants to talk to someone…
My job is to discover the one you want to talk to and become that one.
A U.S. Army interrogator…

Those lines in the song you are about to hear sum up the job of a U.S. Army interrogator. Recognizing that everybody wants to spill their guts to someone, an interrogator has to figure out who that person is, and become that person, so that the detainee/prisoner, talks to the interrogator.

We’ll post more segments here which came from an incredible gathering of people that took place in June 2009 that included a former Army interrogator, a former senior CIA analyst, a psychologist compiling powerful oral histories from people who committed torture from WWII until today, an award-winning religious/political columnist who also happens to be a Presbyterian minister, and victims of torture.

We’re editing the videos now and will post new ones as they are ready.
