By Cillian Zeal May 13, 2018 at 9:21am The former CIA agent who interrogated Khalid Sheikh Mohammed warned Whoopi Goldberg against suggesting that President Donald Trump undergo waterboarding before he passes judgement on it, telling Fox News that the president might conclude it isnt torture and that it works during interrogation. Dr. James Mitchell, appearing Saturday on Fox & Friends, was responding to remarks made by The View host earlier in the week as she discussed Trumps nominee for CIA director, Gina Haspel, whos come under fire for her part in the George W. Bush administrations enhanced interrogation program. I would like (President Trump) to try (waterboarding), Goldberg said. You have never been tortured, and neither has Dick Cheney. I think people who have actually been tortured who are saying this is not a good thing, you should listen to them because you have never been tortured, she added in a nod to Sen. John McCain, who suffered torture as a POW during the Vietnam War and has opposed Haspels nomination. Cheney told CNBCs Maria Bartiromo last week that he felt the enhanced interrogation program which included waterboarding should be restarted. While Trump had been a supporter of restarting waterboarding during the 2016 campaign, he backed off at the urging of Defense Secretary James Mattis, who opposes the tactic. Mitchell, however, said Goldbergs suggestion might backfire on her. Poster Comment: Video at source. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
