Who is James Elmer Mitchell?

James Elmer Mitchell is a psychologist and former member of the United States Air Force. In 2002, after his retirement from the military, he received a contract from the CIA to create a program of interrogation techniques to be used on high value detainees. Mitchell and Bruce Jessen developed "enhanced interrogation techniques" based on their experience with Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape training. These techniques have been described as torture.

Contrary to published reports, Mitchell is an atheist, not a Mormon.
