In this report, the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) documents instances of torture carried out by the United States in the past several years at various black-site prison locations throughout the world. It was at these sites where techniques such as “waterboarding, keeping a prisoner naked in a cold cell and dousing him with cold water, forcing the prisoner to stand shackled for hours on end (often including sleep deprivation), shaking the prisoner, and two types of slaps to the prisoner” were applied. The report itself is a massive 525-page executive summary of the larger report (of over 6,000 pages) reviewing over six million documents from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The main SSCI conclusions were that the “enhanced-interrogation” techniques employed by the CIA amounted to torture, that torture was not effective at eliciting reliable information and furthermore, it did not contribute to finding Osama bin Laden, and that the CIA misled the public, imprisoning far more suspects than it had previously acknowledged.
