Reacting to CIA Torture Session, Waterboarding & Sociopathic Spy - Julian Dorey (Video)

This is a 7 July 2025 published video, host Julian Dorey participates in a CIA torture session with waterboarding.

The Senate Intelligence Committee report details the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program, which involved the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on suspected terrorists after the September 11, 2001 attacks. 

Key findings and methods

• Detention and Interrogation: The CIA operated a program of secret detention and extraordinary rendition, holding at least 119 detainees in clandestine “black sites”.
• Enhanced Interrogation Techniques: These techniques, which included waterboarding, sleep deprivation, stress positions, and various forms of physical and psychological abuse, were determined to be torture. Specific examples include:
  • Walling: Detainees were slammed against walls.
  • Waterboarding: Detainees were subjected to near-drowning experiences.
  • Sleep Deprivation: Detainees were kept awake for extended periods, some exceeding a week, leading to hallucinations.
  • Stress Positions: Detainees were forced into painful and prolonged positions.
  • Rectal Rehydration/Feeding: This procedure was used without documented medical necessity, with some detainees experiencing symptoms consistent with violent rape.
  • Confinement Boxes: Detainees were held in small boxes, including one the size of a coffin for over 11 days.
  • Mock Executions: Detainees were threatened with guns and power drills, and some mock executions were staged.
  • Threats: Interrogators threatened to rape and murder detainees’ children and families.
• Ineffectiveness: The report concluded that these techniques were not an effective means of obtaining accurate information or gaining cooperation.
• Wrongful Detention: At least 26 detainees were held wrongfully, including individuals mistakenly identified or held to leverage information from family members.
• Harm to Detainees: The program caused profound and often permanent physical and psychological damage, including brain damage, seizures, loss of vision, dementia, paranoia, and self-harm attempts.
• Internal Opposition and Cover-up: Numerous CIA officials and personnel objected to the program and its techniques, but these concerns were often ignored or suppressed. The CIA also went to lengths to cover up the program’s brutality and futility.
• Lack of Accountability: Few individuals involved in the program were reprimanded, and some even received bonuses or rose to prestigious positions.
