La CIA et torture: le rapport du sénat indique que l'agence aurait menti à la population et au président

Les révélations sur les procédures d'interrogatoires de la CIA étonnent plus ou moins, ce qui est nouveau c'est l'ampleur du phénomène.

 "The Senate Intelligence Committee report finds that the “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” program escaped effective scrutiny by outsiders long after its inception in 2002, with CIA records showing that President George W. Bush was never briefed by the agency on specific techniques such as waterboarding until 2006. Top Bush administration officials such as Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell not told of the practices until September 2003.

The congressional review also says that the CIA’s actual tactics often went far beyond the terms laid out in Justice Department legal opinions, subjecting detainees to prolonged interrogation under a combination of harsh techniques and ignoring safeguards set forth in the legal memos such as ensuring that interrogators were well-trained and had high-level approvals before using the unusually aggressive tactics.
