risen reveals how after the abu ghraib torture scandal, the apa formed a task force that backed the continued role of psychologists in the program. one official from the association wrote an email expressing gratitude to an intelligence official saying -- "your views were well represented by the very carefully selected task force members." the international soccer organization fifa has published an internal report clearing russia and qatar of corruption in their bids for the world cups in 2018 and 2022. the move came despite records of illegal payments by qatari officials, which were noted in the report, and the destruction of computers and disappearance of emails related to russia's bid. the announcement caused an internal rift within fifa after the investigator whose evidence was used in the report denounced the conclusions, calling them "incomplete and erroneous." a new report by the department of homeland security details the cascading series of mistakes which allowed a man wielding a knife to scale a fence and enter the white house. the report obtained by "the new york times" found the s

forces at abu ghraib in iraq. in mexico, the governor of the southern state where 43 students disappeared following a police ambush has resigned. governor angel aguirre rivero is from the same political party as the mayor of iguala, who is accused of ordering the attack on the students. aguirre has been a target of ongoing protests for allowing corruption of officials in the state to go unchecked. a lawyer for haitians impacted by a deadly outbreak of cholera has asked a u.s. judge to let their lawsuit against the united nations move forward. the outbreak, which killed over 8,500 people, has been traced to u.n. peacekeepers who responded to haiti's 2010 earthquake. at thursday's hearing, an attorney from the justice department appeared in court to argue the u.n. should be immune from such legal action. but beatrice lindstrom, attorney for the plaintiffs, said the united nations should be held accountable. >> we argued today the united nations cannot enjoy immunity in the suit when the u.n. is responsible for the d

it is like abu ghraib were low-level people who did the actual torture, they get held accountable. >> describe what they did. describe what these four blackwater guards did in nisoor square. >> they were unit called raven 23. they were the elite guard of the was occupation, guarding paul bremer, the original sort of proconsul in iraq, the viceroy, he liked to call himself. they were responding to an incident that occurred on the opposite and of baghdad from where their base was located. they rolled out and end up hitting a crowded intersection at nisoor square. what often would happen in iraq, mercenary contractors would start throwing frozen water bottles and cars trying to force them off the street, and eventually, it would escalate to shooting at vehicles. these guys basically try to take over the traffic circle, the blackwater guys, so they could continue to their destination. a small white car with a young iraqi medical student and his mother did not stop fast enough for the blackwater convoy, and they decided to escalated all the way up to assassinating those individuals. i say

ghraib. when you think about the base humiliation they put him through and the way they really tortured him. this idea you can put someone in a confined estate and they won't them, ising, you mace ludicrous and torturous. that is what led mark to plead to a life sentence. talks i want to interrupt you with another clip of "the life and mind of mark defriest." he is explaining an escape attempt that involved lsd. >> that was mark defriest explaining his escape attempt that involved lsd. that explains why the guards hate him. >> he is a joker. he made a self portrait of himself as a clown in a straitjacket. he became a great illustrator in prison. we ended up in a meeting a lot of the scenes to bring them back to life. we worked with a company based in toronto. >> it is astounding, the illustrations, the animation. >> yes, in a was really a way to bring people into the cell with him and cushions the blow when he see the torture that he went through in the darker pieces of this film, it is a way

ghraib incident was made public or incidents were made public, asked me to look into it. ,o get a chronology essentially, to tell him how we got to that point. i began my investigation. i learned that there was as early as april, may 2002, efforts to use enhanced interrogation techniques come also to build a legal regime under which they could be conducted, and that those efforts were as much aimed at al qaeda and contacts between baghdad and no qaeda and corroboration thereof, as they were trying to ferret out whether or not there was another attack coming like 9/11. that was stunning to me to find out that was part -- i would say probably 50% of the impetus that i discovered in both the classified and unclassified material i looked into. we spoke to richard clarke, the nation's former top counterterrorism official. clarke served as national coordinator for security and counterterrorism during bush's first year in office. he resigned in 2003 following the iraq invasion. clarke said that after 9/11, right after, in the days after president george bush had wanted , him to
