The clip details the speaker's involvement in counterterrorism after 9/11, starting with a chilling pre-attack warning from the CIA about an imminent, massive assault, codenamed with phrases like "the honey salesman is coming." Following the capture of high-value al-Qaeda targets like Abu Zubaydah, the CIA rapidly introduced "enhanced interrogation techniques." The speaker refused to participate, recognizing the program as illegal torture and having a profound ethical and moral problem with it, making him the only one of 14 officers to decline. The speaker reveals the brutal nature and ultimate failure of the classified program. Prisoners were subjected to techniques like waterboarding (used 87 times on Abu Zubaydah) and the "cold cell," which involved chaining the naked prisoner in a freezing room while hourly doused with ice water, a method that murdered two prisoners via hypothermia. Crucially, all actionable intelligence was gathered by the FBI using traditional rapport-building techniques, while the torture only caused prisoners to go completely silent. The segment concludes with the speaker's decision to go public after President Bush attempted to scapegoat a "rogue CIA officer," leading to a long, secret investigation, his arrest, and financially devastating legal battles for telling the truth.
