She wants the final design to serve the needs of the clinic and, as she told me when we talked last month, to affirm and support the women who inhabit the space. We talked about the project, what Brown views as a lack of engagement from her field on issues of political relevance, the relationship between the built environment and the patient experience and how space can be playful, beautiful, functional and safe all at once.The Senate Committee report concludes that the EIT techniques were ineffective and that the Agency regularly misled the White House and Congress about the nature of the program and its efficacy. The outside contractors, who pocketed more than $80 million from 2001 through 2009, carried out “inherently governmental functions such as acting as liaison between the CIA and foreign intelligence services, assessing the effectiveness of the interrogation program, and participating in the interrogation of detainees held in foreign government custody.”
New Crossroads labor correspondent Gregory Heires writes in his aptly titled post “Outsourcing Torture” that “the contract workers had a conflict of interest. They were responsible for carrying out torture while also determining whether it was effective and safe.” Heires notes there was a built-in financial incentive to be brutal. The contractors who waterboarded detainees got $1,800 a day, four times the amount paid to interrogators who did not.
Some of the most compelling material appears in the attachments of the Senate report in the form of additional statements made by individual senators who served on the committee.
Colorado Sen. Mark Udall says the investigation documented that the CIA’s interrogation program was “shaped and conducted by individuals who didn’t understand what they were doing and who had a financial stake in representing the program as effective.” That inherent conflict of interest was even more problematic because the EIT program “was managed incompetently by senior CIA personnel,” writes Udall.But the central dynamics of the Republican Party were less about race than they were (I’m going to get myself into trouble for this) about class. Republicans wanted the government to promote equal opportunity for the guys at the bottom, so a lot of Southern whites jumped onto the Republican Party — not a majority, but the idea that only black people were Republicans is wrong. When the KKK starts going after people in the late 1860s, they’re murdering white people as well as black people; the people they’re murdering are Republicans.
And were there many rank-and-file white supporters of the GOP before the Civil War? Or was it at that point much more of a Northern coalition?
There really weren’t [white Republicans in the South] before the Civil War because the Republican Party was so young. It really only starts to formulate in 1854, and it really only starts to articulate its principles in 1856 and then snowball in 1858.
But by then, the Southern leaders and the Southern newspapers are so invested in the idea of the Democratic Party retaining control of the government that they paint Republicans as what they call “Black Republicans,” who are going to come down to the South and force racial equality at the point of bayonet. And then in 1859, we have John Brown doing that — completely unsuccessfully, and he’s a lunatic — but for Southern whites … they look at the Republicans as being virtually satanic.
What was it that made Southern whites, at least for a while, change their minds?
During and especially after the war, the Republicans … they don’t kill anybody. If you think about it, it’s astonishing that for a rebellion of that size (more than 600,000 dead; more than $2.5 billion in debt) nobody hangs for their participation … (some people are hanged, but for other crimes) and that’s astonishing. So [Southern whites] start to feel that maybe [Republicans] aren’t the devil incarnate.
The first thing Republicans do for the South is to [create] the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands and try to put impoverished black and white Southerners on land and give them food and medical care (they were literally starving to death). And the second thing they try to do … is to pass a bill providing public education not only for the states that were in rebellion but for all the border states as well. And this is so incredibly popular, that Johnson vetoes it because he knows that if it passes the Republicans will win in the South from then on.
