**VIDEO CONTAINS SOME DISTURBING IMAGES** BBC reporter Hilary Andersson finds out what it is like to be inside a "blackout box" used in so-called "enhanced interrogation". The agency's position has always been that the "enhanced interrogation" techniques it used under George W Bush, did not amount to torture, because they were legally approved by the White House at the time. President Obama closed the CIA's programme down when he came to power in 2009. BBC Panorama reporter Hilary Andersson experiences what it is like inside a "blackout box" as used by CIA interrogators. Panorama: Fighting Terror With Torture is on BBC One at 20:30 BST on Monday 3 August 2015 and available later via BBC iPlayer (UK Only).
