For nearly 10 years, Ali Soufan helped fight the United States’ secret war on terror, gathering intelligence and interrogating prisoners as an FBI Special Agent. Soufan claims that former Vice President Dick Cheney’s insistence that waterboarding was effective is flat-out wrong.

Soufan’s new book, The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against Al-Qaeda reveals the faulty logic of Cheney and members of the Bush administration who still feel that it was justifiable for the United States to torture.

Ali Soufan talks with ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û Deputy Legal Director, Jameel Jaffer in our latest episode of ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û Studio.
