Het hoofdkwartier van de V.S. Kamer van Koophandel, Die overdwars van het Park van Lafayette in Washington wordt de gevestigd, is een kalksteenstructuur die zo zoals het Opperste Hof bijna majestic kijkt.

Among certain circles, including the American Psychological Association, we need more research on effective interrogation strategies. Many of us have been suspicious that these calls may cover the design of technologies that will create high-tech tools aiding abusive interrogations. In 2003, the APA sponsored, with the CIA and Rand Corp., a Science of Deception Workshop. CIA contractor torturers James Michell and Bruce Jessen were ...
