6:36Now Playing"After five years, the Senate on Tuesday released the results of its massive investigation into the CIA’s post-9/11 interrogation tactics—and they are disturbing.
Drawing on more than 6 million CIA documents, the report concludes that the agency seriously misled the White House and Congress about numerous facets of its interrogation program, including the number of people being detained and the brutality and efficacy of the torture techniques. The review concluded that the program was severely lacking in oversight: 26 of the detainees (nearly 25 percent) were wrongfully held, and on several occasions senior officials overruled CIA interrogators who questioned the tactics being used.
The 528-page report by the Senate Intelligence Committee also details disturbing techniques used by CIA officials, such as sleep deprivation, “rectal feeding” or “rectal rehydration” (you can use your imagination on what these are), and “rough takedowns,” in which “approximately five CIA officers would scream at a detainee, drag him outside of his cell, cut off his clothes and secure him with Mylar tape. The detainee would then be hooded and dragged up and down a long corridor while being slapped and punched.”"* The Young Turks hosts John Iadarola (TYT University), Steve Oh and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.
