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.

More quotes by Jane Mayer
It's quite amazingly radical, what their [the Kochs] vision of America would be.
Jane Mayer
So you've got these regular, middle-class voters who don't hate the government as much as the Kochs do. They're Republicans, but they still want government programs. They want Social Security, they want Medicare. They need it.
Jane Mayer
[Tom] Steyer is specifically spending money on candidates who will take action against climate change.
Jane Mayer
I mean, The New York Times actually had an interesting case recently where they described a detainee who was afraid of the dark, and so he was purposely kept very much in the dark.
Jane Mayer
It's hard for them to run away from their record. The Kochs are businessmen.
Jane Mayer
The idea is that if we can put our own people through something almost as bad as what they might have to go through if they were taken captive, they will inoculate themselves.
Jane Mayer
[Donald] Trump has put forward a list of people he would like to see on the Supreme Court, whom the Kochs would be very happy with too. So it's not all bad for them.
Jane Mayer
Money has much more power down the ballot.
Jane Mayer
The possibility exists that the Kochs will walk away with even more power if [Donalds] Trump's defeated.
Jane Mayer
The smaller the office, the more power individuals with big money have.
Jane Mayer
They [the Kochs] want free trade and cheap labour. They own the second-largest private company in America, which is a huge multinational corporation. So they are on a different wavelength.
Jane Mayer
What these memos do is they make legal acts that were criminal prior to these memos.
Jane Mayer
Ethically, I think pretty much every code of ethics for doctors suggests that they should not be in an interrogation room, particularly if there's anything coercive or abusive going on.
Jane Mayer
It was our view of the worst that could befall our people if they were taken captive. So, what was fascinating to me was that somehow it appears the techniques that we have feared most in the world would be used on our people, we are using on people in our custody.
Jane Mayer
People I've interviewed say they're terrified there may be boycotts of their [the Kochs] products, which include so many household items that everybody's familiar with, things like Stainmaster Carpet and Dixie Cups and Brawny paper towels and Lycra.
Jane Mayer
[The Kochs] they hate big government.
Jane Mayer
The Kochs are very much involved in this election, not backing [Donald] Trump but backing everything down the ballot from him. They're pouring money into capturing the Senate and the House of Representatives, and state Houses across the country.
Jane Mayer
Let's face it, the subject of campaign finance is not always scintillating. But it's incredibly important.
Jane Mayer
I would argue that there's been a backlash this year [2016]. They [the Kochs] pushed the [Republican] party too far right. The other thing that the backlash is against is the sense that politicians have been bought and sold.
Jane Mayer
There have been waves of reform in the past. I see no reason why they wouldn't happen again.
