Face to Face with al Qaeda
12. Februar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"The Interrogators" recounts author Chris Mackey's time spent as an interrogator at a U.S. Army prison facility in Afghanistan in the days right after 9/11. His job was to interview captured Arabs and try to determine which ones could give valuable intelligence information. What was really interesting to me, though, was the author's descriptions of the war in Afghanistan and the methods used to interrogate the prisoners. The beginning of the book describes the training that Mackey received in the Army's language school, and also touched on some of his training in interrogation methods.
While other Amazon reviewers have commented negatively on this book for its lack of military detail, I enjoyed this book for the fact it isn't full of military acronyms and jargon like several other books I've read written on the war on terror. To me, this book almost read like a fictional spy thriller. I can recommend this book to other concerned citizens who are interested in learning more about how the US gathered intelligence on the war on terror. I'm glad that I read it.

The New Handbook on How to Interrogate Terrorists
31. Juli 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As an Army Military Intelligence officer, interrogator, and Iraq War veteran, THE INTERROGATORS is a must-read for anyone wanting to know what it was like literally facing terrorists and then breaking them down mentally to reveal their own secrets in an effort to save lives. Chris Mackey's detailed firsthand account of interrogations of Taliban fighters and Al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom is riveting. He sheds light on the shadowy world of Human Intelligence collection, formerly known as interrogation, and doesn't hesitate to go into detail of how interrogations are done, and how prisoners are broken to cooperate without even being touched, much less tortured. As one who knows firsthand how sensitive the tactics, techniques and procedures of interrogation are, I found it very surprising that the Pentagon approved so much of what is written in this book.
Mackey's scathing rebuke of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq only highlights the morality of his position against using torture. Mackey explains why torture is counterproductive, and would not have been ordered by interrogators in Iraq, as has been revealed in recent Army investigations. Mackey brings the reader into the interrogation "booth" to face the terrorists, and shows how his small and overworked band of intelligence professionals spend countless hours attempting to twist their emotions inside and out, even to the brink of insanity and exhaustion, to get them to talk. Mackey deserves the gratitude of every freedom-loving person for his selfless sacrifice to face these monsters and make the world a little safer for the rest of us.

Explores the shadowy world of interrogation in our own time
23. Juli 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"Chris Mackey" is the pseudonym of a senior US Army Intelligence interrogator during the first year of the war in Afghanistan, He relates in great detail his own experiences in confronting captured Afghans and Arabs and trying to discover their true stories, innocent farmers and hardened terrorists alike. Mackey's own intelligence and strong moral sense stand out in his tale, asking hard questions of himself, his comrades, and his country. When we are faced with the certainty that some small number of American soldiers mistreated prisoners in Afghanistan and Iraq, it is important to realize, as Mackey shows, that this was not the standard that most of the interrogators operated by.
Chris Mackey provides us with an intimate day-to-day portrait of what went on in this particular battlefield of the war against terrorism, a battlefield that sometimes yielded small victories because of the skill and dedication of these soldiers enduring long hours and difficult conditions. And he gives us a picture of how men and women react to those conditions, some growing, some eroding. Most importantly, Mackey shines a light on to difficult questions of morality, not giving absolute answers, but forcing us to think about them in a new light. Anyone who wishes to understand the challenges facing us in this shadow world should read this book.
