Resumo

Las técnicas de interrogatorio intensificado (TIIs) son métodos de explotación de sospechosos desarrollados por psicólogos contratados por la Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), que fueron implementados en prisiones secretas construidas y operadas por la agencia fuera del territorio de EEUU, durante la “guerra contra el terrorismo” desencadenada por este país después de haber sido objeto de atentados terroristas en Nueva York y Washington el 11 de septiembre de 2001. Este artículo revisa algunos antecedentes y el contexto de estos procedimientos antiterroristas, centrándose en cómo y dónde fueron empleados, usando tres prisiones secretas como ejemplos: la primera en utilizarse, la que alcanzó la peor reputación y una de las implementadas en Europa, además de algunos incidentes que ocurrieron en cada una de ellas. Las TIIs parecen el último episodio de una serie de prácticas de interrogatorio de la CIA en las que se ha aplicado la psicología científica.
