  The Biscuit Torturers of the U.S. Military (July 6, 2005)
JANE MAYER: It's bizarre to many of us who are not part of the military, I think.
JANE MAYER: Well, what sources told me was that the program is basically reverse engineered by some of the behavioral scientists that's had worked in it.
JANE MAYER: Well, yes, I mean, I think that, you know, my sources suggest that there's a lot of support for the notion that there is a lot of Koran abuse and that it was very much a systematic design, not just an aberration.

 Jane Mayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Mayer is an American investigative journalist who is a staff writer for The New Yorker.
In recent years, she has written extensive articles for that publication on Dick Cheney, the bin Laden family, and the US government's controversial policy of extraordinary rendition.
Mayer also wrote, with Doyle McManus, of Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984–1988 (1989), an account of Ronald Reagan's second term in the White House.

 Lies of The New Yorker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
For the record, let me say that since, in my opinion, Jane Mayer was incapable of reporting a story accurately, and that she was only going to use the occasion to write a political smear, I was hardly surprised by the result.
Jane Mayer’s caricature purports to inform New Yorker readers of a vendetta I am alleged to have carried out against Steve Wasserman, who is the book review editor of the Los Angeles Times, and against the Los Angeles Times itself.
Not only is the reality pretty much the opposite of the picture Mayer presents, but the facts are all in print, so that even if Mayer didn’t believe a word I said in my lengthy interview with her, she could have referred to the documentary record to check her opinions with the evidence.

JANE MAYER: Well, what the Pentagon has done is put out a policy statement that says that no medical personnel will be involved in handing over medical records to interrogators or will be involved in interrogations, so long as they are doctors who are treating the detainees.
JANE MAYER: Well, that -- an interrogator, whose opinions and basically his recollections I was able to go over with very carefully, said that all of the interrogations there are bureaucratized, very, very carefully monitored.
JANE MAYER: Well, they are critics of the Bush administration generally on the human rights record of the administration, and in particular, they are very, very critical of this use of science.

 The New York Review of Books: 'Blinded by the Right': An Exchange
Mayer and Brock are referring to a review of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's analysis of Foster's suicide written by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in our November 1995 issue.
It's interesting that when David Brock and Jane Mayer get together—even if it is only a literary connection—the scent of witch hunts is immediately in the air and the facts no longer seem to matter.
Mayer and another Wall Street Journal reporter, Jill Abramson, published their book on the Hill–Thomas case, the Journal's news department—the respectable side of the house—published extensive excerpts—and then the roof fell in as all members of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" denounced their supposed allies at the Journal for printing such scurrilous material.

 Politics: Jane Mayer in The New Yorker
Jane Mayer’s exceptional profile of David Addington in the July 3 New Yorker admittedly confirms much of what we already knew about this presidential administration.
Addington is Dick Cheney’s chief-of-staff and, as Mayer notes, has been a principal architect of the Bush administration’s breathtaking drive to consolidate its power through a series of highly dubious constitutional interpretations that largely eschew the always sensitively balanced three branches of government in Washington.
I was born and raised in a red state (Oklahoma) and have always considered myself open-minded to points of view that were very different than my own.

 Strange Lies--David Brock
Mayer and Abramson dismiss out of hand any inconsistencies, contradictions, and falsehoods in Hill's testimony: "Questions can be raised, and were during the hearings, about the accuracy of her memory, the precision of her language, and even the clarity of her judgment about herself and others.
Mayer and Abramson report that during the hearings, Middleton supposedly turned to his wife "and asked her if she remembered the [pubic hair and Coke] story, and she told him that she did." The question this raises is why Middleton didn't say something about it at the time.
Mayer and Abramson add little to what has been previously published about this subject; they depict Biden as the initiator of the decision and imply with no basis that he was doing the bidding of the Republicans, who are said to have feared Wright's testimony.

Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson have set a new standard.
Their agenda was manifestly clear when Mayer and Abramson bounced from one media forum to another to promote their book, while arrogantly refusing in almost every outing to debate their work with opponents.
But when it came to Mayer and Abramson, all the media outlets not only invited them on, but with the exception of "Nightline," stuck to the authors' demand they they not be forced to debate Brock or other opponents.

 Salon Newsreal | New Yorker magazine subpoena quashed
U.S. District Court judge Thursday firmly quashed a wide-ranging subpoena that sought to depose New Yorker writer Jane Mayer in a civil suit against the Clinton White House and the FBI stemming from the Filegate scandal.
Mayer was subpoenaed because of an article she wrote in March that revealed that Linda Tripp, the Pentagon employee who secretly taped Monica Lewinsky's account of a sexual affair with President Clinton, had been arrested for theft as a teenager and lied about it on her Pentagon security form.
To overcome Mayer's journalistic protections, Klayman had to demonstrate that the information he sought goes to the heart of his clients' claim of violation of privacy.

 Abu Ghraib, Satanists, and Spoon-Benders
According to Mayer, the flagship SERE program is based at the JFK Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg, and the training program is overseen by psychologists and other behavorial science clinicians, who keep detailed records of trainees' responses and stress levels.
Or, as Mayer put it in an interview posted on the New Yorker website: "Before 9/11, many of these behavioral scientists [at Guantanamo] were affiliated with SERE schools, where they used their knowledge to train U.S. soldiers to resist coercive interrogations.
Mayer was told about another SERE training technique called the "mock rape," in which a female officer stands behind a screen and screams as if she were being violated, and the trainee is told that he can stop the rape if he cooperates with his captors.

Was Mayer simply a diligent and inquiring reporter who somehow stumbled onto these inaccessible and protected records that were so potentially damaging to the credibility of a chief White House accuser?
Mayer was particularly outraged that my column had lent ammunition to Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group, which used the incident to successfully persuade federal Judge Royce Lamberth to grant it broader access to White House e-mails and documents.
After Mayer's article was published, Cohen discussed how serious an offense it is to lie on a job application - but, surprisingly, he failed to note how serious it is to violate the Privacy Act.

Jane Mayer, "A Doctrine Passes," New Yorker, October 10, 2002
For more than fifty years, the security of the world has been kept in fragile balance by an elegant idea, shaped in large part by a man who is a skeptic about big ideas.
This was, as he put it, "the recognition that wherever, in this modern age, one has to choose between war and no war, such is the fearfulness of modern armaments that one should give every conceivable preference to the possibilities and arguments for peace before resorting to the sword."

Here, with The New Yorker’s Amy Davidson, Mayer talks about Cheney’s past, the privatization of the military, and Washington’s revolving door.
JANE MAYER: To crib from the previous Presidency, the answer depends on what your definition of “ties” is. Is there any evidence that Vice-President Cheney personally directed the government to give contracts to Halliburton?

Human rights advocates have long suspected a link between interrogations in the "war on terror" and a secretive military survival school that trains elite U.S. troops to resist torture.
Jane Mayer explored the evidence of a connection between the Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape school at Fort Bragg, N. C., and real-world interrogators in a July 2005 piece for the New Yorker.
Now Salon has the first hard proof of that connection, via one document buried among 1,000 pages obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union through the Freedom of Information Act.
