Report on the CIA Detention and Interrogation Program by United States United States Senate Intelligence Committee Pdf

This is the full text of the unclassified US Senate report on the CIA's detention and interrogation program. This controversial document, also referred to as the CIA Torture Report, will resonate for decades as Americans debate the after-effects of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the ensuing War on Terror. On December 9, 2014, the US Senate Intelligence Committee released the unclassified executive summary of the committee's five-year review of the CIA's detention and interrogation program. The release included redacted versions of the committee's executive summary and findings and conclusions, as well as additional and minority views authored by members of the committee. The committee voted to initiate the review on March 5, 2009, with a bipartisan 14-1 vote. Over the following three and a half years, committee staff reviewed more than 6.3 million pages of CIA records, a painstaking process that culminated in the committee's 9-6 bipartisan vote to approve the study on December 13, 2012. Months of meetings with the CIA and work to update the study followed, and on April 3, 2014, the committee voted 11-3 to declassify and release the committee's report. The committee has worked with the Executive Branch over the past eight months to prepare a redacted version designed to protection national security while allowing for the public release of this information. Key findings The study's 20 findings and conclusions can be grouped into four central themes, each of which is supported extensively in the Executive Summary: 1. The CIA's "enhanced interrogation techniques" were not effective. 2. The CIA provided extensive inaccurate information about the operation of the program and its effectiveness to policymakers and the public. 3. The CIA's management of the program was inadequate and deeply flawed. 4. The CIA program was far more brutal than the CIA represented to policymakers and the American public.

Minority Report by Senate Select Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Pdf

The most important book in what is called The Senate Torture Report. This is the third book in what is commonly called the "Senate Torture Report." The full title is, the Senate Intelligence Committee's Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program - Minority Views. It's the one where the minority, Republican members explain what was wrong with the first, main book, written exclusively by the majority, Democrat members. This is the book that tells you what the first book didn't tell you. I believe it may prove the most important book of the three. Know what all the arguments are. Whatever side you are on, if you're only going to read one report, make it this one. What they're saying: "I'm going to read the report, but I'm also going to read the minority report..." - David Ignatius, Washington Post columnist "I urge everyone to read the Minority Views which document many falsehoods propagated by the Study." - U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) "There's a theory on the part of the Senate Democrats... that no significant information was obtained as a result of the use of those enhanced interrogation techniques. That is absolutely wrong, and you're going to be able to see from the report itself as well as from the minority views that we have put together... that information gleaned from these interrogations was in fact used to interrupt and disrupt terrorist plots, including some information that took down [Osama] bin Laden." - U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Senate Intelligence Committee

Committee Study of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program MINORITY VIEW by Senate Select Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Pdf

[On April 3, 2014 the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted to send the Findings and conclusions and it's EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of its final Study on the CIA's Detention and Interrogation program to the president for declassification and subsequent public release.]From the Minority View (Republican response to the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY):On August 24, 1009, Attorney general Eric Holder decided to re-open the criminal inquiry related to the interrogation of certain detainees in the CIA Detention and Interrogation program. Shortly thereafter, the minority withdrew from active participation in the Study when it determined that the Attorney general's decision would preclude a comprehensive review of the program since many of the relevant witnesses would likely decline to be interviewed by the Committee. Contrary to the Terms of Reference, the Study does not offer any recommendation for improving intelligence interrogation practices, intelligence activities, or covert actions. Instead, it offers 20 conclusions, many of which attack the CIA's integrity and credibility in developing and implementing the Program. Absent the support of the documentary record, and on the basis of a flawed analytical methodology, these problematic claims and conclusions create the false impression that the CIA was actively misleading policy makers and impeding the counterterrorism efforts of other federal government agencies during the Program's operation.We begin with an examination of the procedural irregularities that negatively impacted the Study's problematic claims and conclusions. - Saxby Chambliss, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chairman

Liberal Democracies and the Torture of Their Citizens by Cynthia Banham Pdf

This book analyses and compares how the USA's liberal allies responded to the use of torture against their citizens after 9/11. Did they resist, tolerate or support the Bush Administration's policies concerning the mistreatment of detainees when their own citizens were implicated and what were the reasons for their actions? Australia, the UK and Canada are liberal democracies sharing similar political cultures, values and alliances with America; yet they behaved differently when their citizens, caught up in the War on Terror, were tortured. How states responded to citizens' human rights claims and predicaments was shaped, in part, by demands for accountability placed on the executive government by domestic actors. This book argues that civil society actors, in particular, were influenced by nuanced differences in their national political and legal contexts that enabled or constrained human rights activism. It maps the conditions under which individuals and groups were more or less likely to become engaged when fellow citizens were tortured, focusing on national rights culture, the domestic legal and political human rights framework, and political opportunities.

The Official Senate Report on CIA Torture by U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Pdf

Now available to the public for the first time, the Senate's landmark torture report delivers a damning indictment on CIA interrogation practices. Finally declassified and released after five years in the making, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the CIA’s torture program, which describes in excruciating detail what Obama has called “harsh methods . . . inconsistent with our values as a nation,” is now available to the American public—citizens who have a right to know the truth. Considered one of the most important government documents ever to be published, the torture report compiles the Senate committee’s findings of the CIA’s program to detain and interrogate terrorist threats in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, from 2001 to 2006 during the Bush administration. Among other controversial conclusions, the report has found that the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation techniques” were not effective in acquiring intelligence to avert terrorist threats. The study also shows that the CIA misled the public, Congress, the Department of Justice, and even the White House on the effectiveness and the scope and severity of their interrogation techniques. The exhaustive and disturbing account also provides grisly accounts on horrific practices that occurred in CIA black sites: prisoners experienced sleep deprivation in stressful positions for up to 180 hours; being stripped and shackled, hooded and dragged down a long corridor while being punched; waterboarding; and “rectal feeding.” Based on six million CIA documents and requiring $40 million to complete, the entire 6,000-page report still remains classified. Only 525 pages of summary have been published, with 7 percent of its content redacted, and it is now at the disposal of American readers who have the opportunity to learn what occurred during this dark chapter in modern American history. The Senate report delivers a scathing, shocking, and controversial judgment, and gives us much to think about in terms of our longstanding position on freedom, democracy, dignity, and human rights.

The Transformation of the Prohibition of Torture in International Law by Lutz Oette Pdf

The prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment or punishment has a special status. It is the foremost international human rights norm protecting persons from attacks on their dignity and integrity. Consequently, it has been at the forefront of a series of developments in international human rights law and international law more broadly. Having withstood sustained challenges to its absolute nature in the 'war on terror', it has broadened its scope of application, becoming more sophisticated and complex in the process. The prohibition of torture increasingly interacts with other fields of human rights law, such as non-discrimination law, international criminal law, international humanitarian law, and international migration law. The Transformation of the Prohibition of Torture in International Law analyses the nature and significance of this transformation and looks into the scope of the prohibition's further evolution. Empirical scholarship, innovative human rights body practice, and challenges from activists, particularly from the Global South, have focused on the relational nature of torture and other ill-treatment, its embeddedness in wider structures of power, and the role of international law in legitimizing-if not facilitating-widespread suffering, from mass incarceration to poverty and climate change. This analysis reveals an inherent tension in the prohibition between a conventional, narrow focus on direct State violence and a wide lens encompassing myriad forms of suffering. To retain its validity and effectiveness in the twenty-first century, argues Lutz Oette, the prohibition on torture must navigate this tension and successfully address and transform abusive power asymmetries.
