Torture = Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

The United States’ Senate Intelligence Committee released a 6,000 page report detailing how the CIA tortured prisoners at Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, and Abu Ghraib. A 480 page summary gives a troubling overview. The BBC reports:

  • Were the interrogation methods – torture if you like – more extensive and more brutal than previously admitted? It looks like the conclusion is “Yes”
  • Did these interrogation techniques deliver life-saving intelligence to the US? That answer appears to be “No”
  • Were CIA officials at the time honest with the White House about the program? Again, “No”

Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, referred to “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” as torture.
