Glenn Carle was a high-ranking interrogator for the CIA, expected to get information out of Al Quaeda suspects by whatever means. He refused and ultimately resigned. In his book The Interrogator he takes the reader on an ethical journey: What is duty? Can a public official – a national security official – challenge the established, moral code as defined by one’s orders? He talks to Elisabeth Wynhausen.
