Abstract
Carle will speak about his involvement in the interrogation of one of the top al-Qaida members captured by the CIA, when he was ordered to do "whatever it takes to get him to talk." He will describe his struggle over how far to push the interrogation, whether his actions constituted torture, and what defined his real duty to his country. He will explain that the case contained major challenges confronting U.S. officials and American society during the Global War on Terror, and show how our actions corroded the values we sought to protect.
