Report reveals censored passages about CIA’s secret torture sites

Using flight records, court cases and prisoner testimonies among other documents, journalists say they have compiled a comprehensive snapshot of the redacted details in the 500-page US Senate report on the CIA’s post-9/11 torture tactics.

The Senate Intelligence Committee report’s used color-based code names to conceal the CIA’s prison sites. It took researchers at the UK-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism and The Rendition Project nine months to match the code names with public source data in order to point to the specific countries where prisoners were taken to black sites. They also discovered how long prisoners were detained, and what happened afterwards.
