Journalists highlighted mistakes
The US Senate Committee on Intelligence has
issued a significant correction to an appendix to its report on CIA
torture after mistakes were highlighted by the Bureau of Investigative
Journalism.
A “notice of errata” was published earlier this
month showing amendments for almost half of the 119 prisoners
held in the CIA’s rendition and enhanced interrogation programme.
The mistakes, which have been put down to a “technical
error”, relate to the number of days the detainees were held by the CIA during
the programme.
Of the 119 detainees listed in Annex 2 of the report
published last December, 56 had errors attached to their names. The custody
period for one prisoner was overstated by about 470 days.
