Senate Intelligence Committee Report On CIA Torture Techniques
NYT:
A scathing report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday found that the Central Intelligence Agency routinely misled the White House and Congress about the information it obtained from the detention and interrogation of terrorism suspects, and that its methods were more brutal than the C.I.A. acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. The long-delayed report, which took five years to produce and is based on more than six million internal agency documents, is a sweeping indictment of the C.I.A.'s operation and oversight of a program carried out by agency officials and contractors in secret prisons around the world in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It also provides a macabre accounting of some of the grisliest techniques that the C.I.A. used to torture and imprison terrorism suspects.
Waterboardings, "rectal feedings," hypothermia, broken bones, no useful intelligence obtained, innocent people tortured to death. Andrew Sullivan and his crew are live-blogging their way through the report while compiling reactions and tweets and analysis from others. And then there's this:
The CIA Paid 2 Men $80 Million To Come Up With Ways To Torture People
The CIA torture report is shameful. I’m just glad Dick Cheney is undead to see it.
