From its origins in the 1950s, the \"Resistance\" portion of SERE was based upon a firm belief in and commitment to the protections of the Geneva conventions (as above). That opposing forces chose to ignore those protections was the very reason for creating the Code of Conduct and the ensuing development of \"Resistance Training\" (as above). While it has since been thoroughly emphasized and shown through compelling evidence (as below) that some NON-SERE military personnel who falsely claimed to be U.S. \"SERE Instructors\" engaged in the unlawful taking of and misuse of SERE \"training materials\" (which were created for the purpose of helping U.S. Military personnel prepare for and resist the unlawful and immoral torture techniques being used by enemies) and then used those materials as \"training guides\" for developing torture and \"enhanced interrogation\" methods supported by President Bush, there remain some who persist in conflating \"SERE Techniques\" with \"Detainee Interrogation/Torture\" by misguided CIA and other U.S. military personnel.
On 9 December 2014, the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released a report (\"SASC report\", hereafter) which detailed how contractors who developed the \"enhanced interrogation techniques\" used by U.S. personnel received US$81 million for their services and identified the contractors, who were referred to in the report via pseudonyms, as principals in Mitchell, Jessen & Associates from Spokane, Washington. Two of them were psychologists, John \"Bruce\" Jessen and James Mitchell. Jessen was a senior psychologist at the Defense Department who had worked with Army special forces in resistance training. The report states that the contractor \"developed the list of enhanced interrogation techniques and personally conducted interrogations of some of the CIA's most significant detainees using those techniques. The contractors also evaluated whether the detainees' psychological state allowed for continued use of the techniques, even for some detainees they themselves were interrogating or had interrogated.\" Mitchell, Jessen & Associates developed a \"menu\" of 20 potential enhanced techniques including waterboarding, sleep deprivation and stress positions.[102]
