Maj. Ian Fishback, age 42. He was the whistleblower who notified Sen John McCain of "enhanced interrogation techniques" in use during the War on Terror during the Bush Administration. He died under mysterious circumstances in a mental health facility in Michigan.

Retired Special Forces Maj. Ian Fishback graduated near the top of his West Point class, deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan, earned a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Michigan and was named one of Time magazine's most influential people in 2005 for blowing the whistle on torture by the U.S. military.

He died broke, virtually homeless and medicated with heavy antipsychotic drugs in an adult foster care center near Kalamazoo, Mich., on Nov. 19 at age 42, as his friends and family scrambled to find him mental health care...

Garlasco says Fishback was concerned about the Iraqi victims of torture but also his own soldiers. "He was worried about the moral injury that they had sustained, having participated in the torture of human beings," Garlasco notes.

Conversations with Human Rights Watch led Fishback to send a letter to Sen. John McCain that closed, "If we abandon our ideals in the face of adversity and aggression, then those ideals were never really in our possession. I would rather die fighting than give up even the smallest part of the idea that is 'America.' "

Fishback later met with McCain and many other members of Congress, meetings that were credited with helping to pass McCain's Detainee Treatment Act of 2005.
