The Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Torture: Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency?s Detention and Interrogation Program - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Senate Intelligence Committee’s summary of its report on the CIA’s post-9/11 torture program provides a sobering glimpse into one of the darkest chapters in the U.S. government's history. After a grueling 5-year investigation, Senate investigators reveal torrid details of the systemic and individual failures by the agency personnel who ran the "enhanced interrogation program" -- the government's euphemism for systematic torture--during the George W. Bush administration. The program involved capturing terrorism suspects and shipping them to secret overseas prisons, where they were subjected to techniques such as waterboarding (and worse). This is the full, 526-page executive summary unclassified and released by the Senate.
