"The Interrogator"
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-07-18/interrogator
In the fall of 2002, CIA case officer Glenn Carle was given the most important mission of his career: interrogating a high-profile Al Qaeda member. But as the case stretched over months and years, he became convinced his agency had the wrong man. And he found it increasingly difficult to reconcile his idea of honor with his orders. He joins Kojo to discuss his new memoir.

Your speaker is symptomatic of the problem. He is aware of the McCain amendment and the Treaty on Torture and has sworn to :preserve protect and defend the Constitution" which, in article 6 states that Laws Passed by the Congress and signed by the President and treaties signed by the President and ratified by the Senate are "the supreme law of the land." Under these conditions he should have refused and taken his punishment as the price for protecting the Constitution. It is essential that thos in such positions should make the sacrifice in order to save the nation from tyranny. Your speaker lacked the guts!
