Here's an "interesting" tidbit of news from a CIA torture report soon to be declassified:
Government officials familiar with the CIA's early interrogations say the most powerful evidence of apparent excesses is contained in the "top secret" May 7, 2004, inspector general report, based on more than 100 interviews, a review of the videotapes and 38,000 pages of documents. The full report remains closely held, although White House officials have told political allies that they intend to declassify it for public release when the debate quiets over last month's release of the Justice Department's interrogation memos...
Although some useful information was produced, the report concluded that "it is difficult to determine conclusively whether interrogations have provided information critical to interdicting specific imminent attacks," according to the Justice Department's declassified summary of it.
And even government officials who were involved claimed that torture provided information, they felt that the same information could have been gathered from regular interrogation techniques.
Which begs the question, why does Dick Cheney still support torture? |
