The lawsuit against two psychologists who helped architect the Central Intelligence Agency's brutal interrogation program was recently brought to an end, in what was an unusual effort to hold them personally accountable for the tactics the CIA adopted.

Abstract: 
--

Excerpt: Although there will be no public trial, the case - over its nearly two-year course - expanded public knowledge about the C.I.A.'s torture program. Previously secret documents were declassified, including C.I.A. cables from the covert prisons known as black sites. And the two psychologists, along with the former C.I.A. officials Jose Rodriguez and John Rizzo, were subjected to lengthy questioning by opposing lawyers in video depositions. Their sometimes sterile description of the techniques contrasted with the emotional accounts, in separate depositions, of the men who underwent them.
