1. Was enhanced interrogation effective at influencing prisoners to give up useful information? 2. John Rizzo: CIA’s Enhanced Interrogation “Necessary and Effective” 3. Interview with John Rizzo by PBS 4. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/iraq-war-on-terror/the-interrogator/john-rizzo-cias-enhanced-interrogation-necessary-and-effective/ 5. Website 6/1/114 at 6:50pm 6. Speaker - PBS and John Rizzo Occasion - an interview with John Rizzo to provide a point of view on the issue Audience - People interested in the issue since PBS isn't that popular and most people probably accessed this intentionally Subject - CIA's past interrogation techniques Tone - Formal, informative, personal 7. This article gives John Rizzo's perspective on enhanced interrogation techniques. He was in charge of making sure they didn't cross the line into tortue. He claims they were effective and produced actionable intelligence information. 8. It absolutely produced actionable and useful information to investigators. 9. I'm persuaded that the techniques were at least useful however, it doesn't really convince me on a moral level that what was done was right. 10.

**You’re not going to recall all the details,** **but you’re saying that there was most certainly useful and even actionable intelligence produced after the enhanced interrogation techniques were employed?** Absolutely.

**No question?** No question. And it’s not just me saying it. Subsequent investigations by the CIA inspector general and other independent bodies confirmed that there was valuable, actionable intelligence derived first from Abu Zubaydah and later by other high-value detainees that were subjected to the enhanced techniques. I don’t think there’s any dispute about that.

**Why did they tell you that they wouldn’t participate in the interrogation anymore?** As I say, it was because, as I rolled out these proposed procedures, I was told — and I probably knew this in advance; I should have known it — that these were not consistent with normal FBI interrogation tools
