Dr. James Mitchell, one of the men who interrogated 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, explained on The Kelly File the reasons for the CIA’s enhanced interrogation methods detailed in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s controversial “Torture Report.”

Personally reluctant to take part in the interrogations at first, Dr. Mitchell told Kelly, “Those techniques are so harsh that it’s emotionally distressing to the people who are administering them. Even though you don’t want to do it, you’re doing it in order to save lives in the country, and we would just have to man up for lack of a better term.”

"We would just have to 'man up,' for lack of a better term, and carry forward," he said.
