You're Fired! CIA Axes $1000-A-Day Waterboarding Experts
'Architects' of Enhanced Interrogation Program Among Recent Contractor Purge

The CIA has reportedly cut its ties to the two psychologists credited for being the architects of the CIA's brutal interrogation program after 9/11, a news report said yesterday. Dr. James Mitchell and Dr. Bruce Jessen, who suggested and supervised waterboarding at secret prisons around the world have been told their services are no longer needed. Mitchell and Jessen, according to their associates, boasted of being paid $1,000 a day by the CIA to oversee the use of the technique on top al Qaeda suspects.

Their firings came during a purge by CIA Director Leon Panetta of all contractors involved in the interrogation program. In early April, Panetta told CIA employees that contractors involved in the interrogation program and secret prisons were being "promptly terminated."

1. Is the job now open?

I could have done it for $500 a day and saved the country a whole lot of money... what kind of training or degree do you need to be a Qualified Torture Adviser?

Does it start when you are a kid, and your favorite hobby is burning ants with a magnifying glass?
Then you branch out and either become Jeffrey Dahmer or you go professional and work for the CIA.
