Bruce Jessen: The Torturer in the Pulpit
• by William N. Grigg (Pro Liberate)As a
newly appointed ecclesiastical leader in Spokane, Washington, Bruce Jessen
will have the opportunity to baptize new converts. He will also be expected to
interview them regularly to evaluate their understanding of the church’s
teachings and their fidelity to its precepts. Given Jessen’s background, the
possibility exists that he might use the baptismal font as a theater for
“enhanced interrogation” of those who give him unsatisfactory answers.
Before becoming a Mormon Bishop, Bruce Jessen was a torturer
in the employ of the CIA. Beginning
in December 2001, he helped reverse-engineer
the U.S. military’s Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training
in order to develop torture protocols used to “break” and “exploit” detainees.
