the New York Times
reported that the Senate Intelligence Committee has released a detailed and
damning account of how the Central Intelligence Agency “routinely misled
the White House and Congress about the information it obtained from the
detention and interrogation of terrorism suspects, and that its methods were
more brutal than the C.I.A. acknowledged either to the Bush administration
officials or to the public.”
內容簡介：
1. The CIA conductedat least two mock executions-- among other techniques that went unreported in the agency''s cables. Others included "nudity, dietary manipulation, exposure to cold temperatures, cold showers," and rough takedowns.In another passage, the mock executions are included in a section thatalso mentions techniques like"placing pressure on a detainee''s artery ... blowing cigarette or cigar smoke into a detainee''s face, using cold water to interrogate detainees, and subjecting a detainee to a ''hard takedown.''"
2. Those "rough" or "hard" takedownsinvolved CIA officers rushinginto a detainee''s cell, stripping him naked and running him up and down a long hall while slapping and punching him. "As they ran him along the corridor, a couple of times he fell and they dragged him through the dirt," the report says.
3. The CIA oftenused sleep deprivation, which "involved keeping detainees awake for up to 180 hours, usually standing or in stress positions, at times with their hands shackled above their heads."
4. The CIA decided that interrogating Abu Zubaydah would take precedence over his medical care.He almost died as a resultof waterboarding. In at least one waterboarding session, Abu Zubaydah "became completely unresponsive, with bubbles rising through his open, full mouth." He remained unresponsive until medical intervention, when he regained consciousness and expelled "copious amounts of liquid."
5. The first prisoner at the COBALT detention facility, Redha al-Najar, was kept in"isolation in total darkness."The CIA gave him increasingly worse food, kept him in uncomfortably cold temperatures, kept him shackled and hooded and played music 24 hours a day. He wore a diaper and had no access to toilets. And he was described as being left hanging -- with one or both wrists handcuffed to an overhead bar so he couldn''t lower his arms -- for 22 hours a day for two straight days in an attempt to "''break'' his resistance."
6. The CIA threatened the families of detainees. It used that prisoner''s"fear for the well-being of his familyto our benefit," according to the report, by "using ''vague threats'' to create a ''mind virus.''"In another section, the report says "CIA officers also threatened at least three detainees with harm to their families -- to include threats to harm the children of a detainee, threats to sexually abuse the mother of a detainee and a threat to ''cut [a detainee''s] mother''s throat.''"
7. One detainee faced particularly rough treatment in late 2005.Per the report:"According to CIA records, Abu Ja''far al-Iraqi was subjected to nudity, dietary manipulation, insult slaps, abdominal slaps, attention grasps, facial holds, walling, stress positions and water dousing with 44 degree Fahrenheit water for 18 minutes. He was shackled in the standing position for 54 hours as part of sleep deprivation, and experienced swelling in his lower legs requiring blood thinner and spiral ace bandages."He was moved to a sitting position, and his sleep deprivation was extended to 78 hours. After the swelling subsided, he was provided with more blood thinner and was returned to the standing position. The sleep deprivation was extended to 102 hours. After four hours of sleep, Abu Ja''far al-Iraqi was subjected to an additional 52 hours of sleep deprivation, after which CIA Headquarters informed interrogators that eight hours was the minimum rest period between sleep deprivation sessions exceeding 48 hours. In addition to the swelling, Abu Ja''far al-Iraqi also experienced an edema on his head due to walling, abrasions on his neck and blisters on his ankles from shackles."
8. "At least five CIA detaineeswere subjected to''rectal rehydration'' or rectal feeding without documented medical necessity," the report said.More specifically,"Majid Khan''s ''lunch tray'' of hummus, pasta with sauce, nuts and raisins was ''pureed'' and rectally infused."
9. The CIA officers involved in the detention and interrogation program weren''t the most savory bunch. The group "included individuals who, among other issues, had engaged in inappropriate detainee interrogations, had workplace anger management issues and had reportedly admitted to sexual assault," the report said.
10. Some of those who were interrogated didn''t have the best thought-out plans. After reading a satirical web story called "How to Make an H-bomb," U.S. citizen Jose Padilla and his associate, Binyam Mohammed, conceived the "Dirty Bomb Plot."
