Fallon's complaints about detainee abuse helped end the brutal techniques first used by other interrogators at the Navy base in Cuba, and then employed in Iraq and elsewhere. His book, Fallon said, is especially important given that President Donald Trump during the 2016 election campaign advocated reviving brutal interrogation techniques.

He has been outspokenly critical of decision making during that period, telling the Miami Herald last year that some captives were brought to Guantánamo based on “the sketchiest bit of intelligence with nothing to corroborate.” “It was clear early on that the intelligence was grossly wrong,” he said. Most “weren’t battle...

Encouraging interrogation communities to place value on qualities such as empathy and rapport may be assisted by presenting an objective body of evidence that is based on the systematic examination of real world inte...

One of them is Mark Fallon, a retired 30-year federal investigator who, from 2002 to 2004, headed the Pentagon's Criminal Investigation Task Force (CITF), established to investigate cases that would be brought before a military commission.

It is not an effective method to get somebody to tell the truth or reliable information," Fallon saidThe Islamic State group has often shown prisoners wearing the same orange jumpsuits as Guantanamo detainees. "It is such a symbolic target. If you look at studies of what foreign fighters have used to justify coming to the battle, they have traditionally used both Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay as a reason that they came to the battlefield," Fallon said.

Bush. “Torture is a very effective method to get somebody to say something you want them to say. It is not an effective method to get somebody to tell the truth or reliable information,” he said.
