00:00The first day that I reported to the National Security Agency was 9-11.

00:05This is just a horrific scene.

00:08It was crisis.

00:09The second power, the front power.

00:11But it became clear within the space of a few days that this was not a normal crisis.

00:15Once we were in the war on terrorism, there was definitely a sea change.

00:20I was told that the CIA had begun a program that they were calling Enhanced Interrogation Techniques.

01:31They set the target, they put the bullseye on me.

01:34They said, we're going to make an example of him.

01:36I'm fighting to have my September 10th country back.

01:51We'll be back.

01:52We'll be back.

01:57We'll be back.

01:58We'll be back.

01:59We'll be back.

02:00We'll be back.
