    Who most likely authorized the enhanced interrogation techniques?

    • Chuck Hagel, U.S. Secretary of Defense

    • Dick Cheney, former Vice President

    • George Tenet, former CIA Director

    • Jeh Johnson, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security

    • President Barack Obama

    • President George W. Bush

    Correct Answer
    A. George Tenet, former CIA Director
    Explanation
    George Tenet, as the former CIA Director, would have been the most likely person to authorize enhanced interrogation techniques. As the head of the CIA, Tenet would have had the authority and responsibility to make decisions regarding interrogation techniques. The other options listed, such as Chuck Hagel, Dick Cheney, Jeh Johnson, President Barack Obama, and President George W. Bush, do not have the same level of direct authority over the CIA or the specific responsibility for authorizing such techniques.

    A. Wear diapers
    Explanation
    The CIA forced detainees to wear diapers in order to induce a sense of helplessness.

Wearing diapers would have been humiliating and degrading for the detainees, further breaking down their sense of self and agency.
