In this chapter, Gladwell describes the CIA's work with KSM. Gladwell then examines psychiatrist Charles Morgan's PTSD studies in order to understand why some soldiers suffered from PTSD and others did not. To understand the individuals' minds prior to experiencing trauma, he studied subjects involved in the SERE program.
In a paragraph of between five and seven sentences, answer these questions for the summary:
1. Who was KSM?
2. Why was he being interrogated by the CIA?
3. What are the names of the two psychologists who interrogated KSM?
4. How was KSM affected by their interrogation?
In a paragraph of between five and seven sentences, answer these questions for the analysis:
1. What was involved with SERE training?
2. In his considerations of the PTSD studies of SERE training, Gladwell asks: "what if the process of securing compliance proved so stressful to the interviewee that it affected what he or she could actually remember?" (254). Why does Gladwell feel the interrogation tactics were flawed?
3. What do you think about the interrogations tactics used?
