Doubleday. --- [...] SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) was a program developed by the military to train soldiers to resist torture or other rough treatment if captured. After 9/11, as Mayer first reported in The New Yorker, it was "reverse-engineered" into an offensive weapon. Under the influence of James Mitchell, a former military psychologist hired to supervise the project despite his lack of experience with either interrogations or Islamic extremism, the black sites, Guantánamo and eventually Abu Ghraib became a bizarre world where detainees were kept on dog leashes and bombarded with intolerable sounds, including "meows from cat food commercials, Yoko Ono singing and Eminem rapping about America."

OK, OK, I confess!!!!!!!!! I told Yoko Ono she could sing. I told Martha Stewart to invest in pork bellies. I told Sarah Palin to run for governor. I told Faul no one would ever notice the difference. I was the voice of Harvey, the dog who gave the Son of Sam, David Berkowitz, orders to kill. *I did it. It was me. I confess. Make it stopppppppp!!!!!! AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!! * Son of Sam
"at least two witnesses who described a yellow Volkswagen driving quickly from the neighborhood with its headlights off... ....Masters was nearly struck by what he described as a yellow Volkswagen Beetle that sped through the intersection, against the red light and without headlights, with the driver holding his door shut with his arm as he drove... "....Terry uncovered evidence that he argues strongly support the idea that a violent offshoot of the Process Church was responsible for the Son of Sam murders and many other crimes. ... hey bulldog
