To his friends and neighbors, Glenn L. Carle was a wholesome,
stereotypical New England Yankee, a former athlete struggling
against incipient middle age, someone always with his nose in an
abstruse book. But for two decades Carle broke laws, stole, and
lied on a daily basis about nearly everything. I was almost never
who I said I was, or did what I claimed to be doing. He was a CIA
spy. He thrived in an environment of duplicity and ambiguity,
flourishing in the gray areas of policy.
The Interrogator is the story of Carle's most serious assignment,
when he was surged to become an interrogator in the U.S. Global War
on Terror, and assigned to interrogate a top-level detainee at one
of the CIA's notorious black sites overseas. It tells of his
encounter with one of the most senior al-Qa'ida detainees the U.S.
captured after 9/11, a ghost detainee who, the CIA believed, might
hold the key to finding Usama Bin Ladin.
As Carle's interrogation sessions progressed, he began to seriously
doubt the operation. Was this man, kidnapped in the Middle East,
really the senior al-Qa'ida official the CIA believed he was?
Headquarters viewed these misgivings as naive troublemaking, so
Carle found himself isolated and progressively at odds with his
institution and his orders. He struggled over how far to push the
interrogation, wrestling with whether his actions constituted
torture, and with what defined his real duty to his country. Then,
in a dramatic twist, Headquarters spirited the detainee and Carle
to the CIA's harshest interrogation facility, a place of darkness
and fear, which even CIA officers dared mention only in whispers.
A haunting tale of sadness, confusion, and determination, The
Interrogator is a shocking and intimate look at the world of
espionage. It leads readers through the underworld of the Global
War on terror, asking us to consider the professional and personal
challenges faced by an intelligence officer during a time of war,
and the unimaginable ways in which war alters our institutions and
American society.
