Torture-Linked Firm Vacates Spokane Headquarters
------------------------------------------------



The torture-linked military contractor Mitchell Jessen & Associates has
moved out of its Spokane, Washington, office to an undisclosed location.
Named for its founders, the military psychologists James Mitchell and
Bruce Jessen, the firm played a key role in developing the Bush
administration’s torture methods used on foreign prisoners. The
investigative website Pro Publica reports Mitchell Jessen has
disconnected its phone number and hasn’t left a forwarding address at
its now-vacated offices.
