Tortures

Americans Should Never Use Torture. In Any Circumstances

In December 2014, the Senate Select Intelligence Committee issued a strongreport on the CIA’s use of torture on detainees between 2001 and 2006.  On Tuesday, we learned that the CIA used a much wider array of sexual abuse and other forms of torture than the Senate report described. Because the CIA torture videotapes were destroyed, it is not surprising that revelations like this were not covered in the report. Nevertheless, the report’s findings and recommendations are still valid.
