The US. Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday unveiled the much-anticipated summary of its report on the Central Intelligence Agency’s use of torture against terrorism suspects, providing often-harrowing insight into U.S. interrogation practices in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks
While this summary doesn’t tell the complete story, it nonetheless presents a wide-ranging survey of the CIA’s use of torture.
Here are 10 of the most revolting findings in the committee’s summary.
1. The CIA misled executive branch officials, members of Congress, and the public about torture’s effectiveness.
2. Interrogators would deprive some detainees of sleep for more than a week
3. Detainees underwent waterboarding until they were unresponsive.
4. The CIA force-fed detainees through their rectums.
5. Interrogators threatened to harm the families and children of detainees.
6. An interrogator threatened to sodomize a detainee with a broomstick.
7. The chief of interrogations described one facility as a “dungeon.”
