enhanced interrogation n. (in the terminology of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency) a type of interrogation incorporating procedures that apply extreme physical and psychological stress to subjects in order to compel them to cooperate; frequently attributive in enhanced interrogation technique. Such techniques were first systematically used by American officials and their allies during the period immediately following the attacks of 11 September 2001. They were officially banned by Executive Order 13491 in January 2009.In 2014, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that enhanced interrogation constitutes torture.
