NC Commission on Torture

The Waters and Harvey Show logo

North Carolina, The CIA, And Torture - Following 9/11, the US government authorized the CIA to operate a program known as “Extreme Rendition.” Now we know that it involved torturing terror suspects. We speak with Frank Goldsmith, a member of the North Carolina Commission of Inquiry on Torture, which was set up to investigate the little-known, but critical role our state played in this program.
