    LETTER SEEKING EXPEDITED REVIEW OF MARK FALLON’S 'UNJUSTIFIABLE MEANS'
    ORG:

    URL:
    https://www.aclu.org/letter/letter-seeking-expedited-review-mark-fallons-unjustifiable-means
    Excerpt/Summary
    The ACLU cited Mr. Fallon's First Amendment right to a timely review, as well as the public's First Amendment right to hear his account in the book. Further stating, "It is hard to escape the inference that the extended delay in reviewing Mr. Fallon's book is related to his criticisms of the torture policies."

    Excerpt/Summary
    “The torture architects and advocates have controlled the public narrative with the myth that the unlawful prisoner torture program was safe, necessary, and effective — even while official investigations repeatedly prove that is false,” said Fallon. “It's time to hear from, and about the government officials that opposed those inhuman practices and acted with the courage of their convictions and tried to prevent the adoption of torture as a national policy. ‘Unjustifiable Means’ needs to be added to the public debate on this issue, before it's too late.”...

    Pentagon suppressing book on interrogations: former investigator
    ORG:
    Reuters
    URL:
    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-torture-idUSKBN1AJ2NG
    Excerpt/Summary
    Fallon, who retired in 2010, was the deputy commander and chief investigator for the Criminal Investigation Task Force, which the Pentagon formed in 2002 to investigate suspected extremists held at U.S. detention facilities. 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.

    Excerpt/Summary
    Between 2002 and 2004 Fallon was Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Defense’s Criminal Investigation Task Force, and was responsible for some interrogations and evaluating intelligence with an eye toward prosecution by military commission. 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...

    Fallon also said confinement boxes “absolutely” constitute torture, even under controlled and calculated conditions. He noted that from the perspective of an unknowing victim, confinement boxes could be mistaken for an execution. Regarding prolonged isolation, Fallon said, “From an interrogation professional perspective, tactics that produce dread are not considered effective methods in eliciting cooperation and could harden resistance.”

    Excerpt/Summary
    If the U.S. wishes to work towards resolving this crisis, Fallon said, it must abandon isolationist and anti-Islamic rhetoric, which he believes is inconsistent with a “policy to treat refugees humanely and find placement for them.” This type of communication is “fuel to the fire,” he said. “You don’t fight fire with fire, that’s what arsonists do,” he said. “You don’t want to use Islamic extremism to fuel the fire, you want to take the oxygen out of that phrase by not using it.”

    Excerpt/Summary
    The fundamental underpinning of the enhanced interrogation techniques employed in the CIA’s interrogation program conflict directly with the existing and expanding body of literature that highlights the value of rapport and interpersonal skill on the part of the interrogator and emphasizes the costs associated with intimidation, coercion, or aggression. 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...

    Excerpt/Summary
    This reality has always been clear to some people within the US government. 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. In the early days, Fallon said it was clear to him and CITF that most of the people arriving at Guantánamo were not the super-villain terrorists portrayed by the US government.

    Excerpt/Summary
    "We were frankly shocked at who wound up there going on the first plane loads. It was clear it wasn't senior al-Qaeda leadership or main al-Qaeda men. It was just people who were kind of scooped up and a lot of them were paid bounties for. They were not very effectively, for the most part, screened very well in Afghanistan," Fallon explained to Truthout.

    "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," 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.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's report on the CIA's rendition, detention, and interrogation program revealed shocking abuses that went far beyond even the torture that the administration had authorized. The Senate report represents a victory for transparency. But the story doesn't end there. The government went to great lengths to cover for its official policy of abuse, and some of that is just now coming to light.

    Excerpt/Summary
    Mark Fallon, a thirty-year veteran of federal law enforcement and counterintelligence, says the Muslim community has provided a "significant level of cooperation" in combating terrorism, and worries that the rhetoric from some critics risks alienating a population that "needs to be part of the solution." He says the process of radicalization, or "violent extremism," is usually a function of conditions highly personal to the subject, rather than ideological. Fallon sees engagement with the Muslim community as an essential tool in countering violent extremism.
