One of the fellows who had the honor of waterboarding Khalid Sheik Mohammed, James Mitchell, interviewed with Megyn Kelly and expressed his extreme displeasure with the release of the Senate’s report on torture on Fox News<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The man who waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the so-called mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, told Megyn Kelly on Tuesday that the CIA’s program of using enhanced interrogation techniques did not amount to torture, despite recent accusations in a Senate-issued report.<\/p>\n

“If it was torture, I would be in jail,” James Mitchell said on “The Kelly File.” “This thing was investigated over and over. I was told by the highest law enforcement agency in the land that we were going to walk right up to the edge of the law, and that all of the things we had included in that list were legal.”<\/p>\n

Mitchell, a former Air Force psychologist, said in the days following the Sept. 11 attacks, the country was gripped with fear that new attacks were forthcoming and both the public and the U.S. government were desperate to prevent them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mitchell claims that his work saved lives and I have no doubt of that. What’s really telling about this interview is that the Senate never asked Mitchell anything during their investigation.<\/p>\n
