The actual 'torture report' by the Senate intelligence committee is worth reading at least in part (it's long...) and goes into some good detail about how the psychologists were recruited and operated.

Take an hour or two to read the executive summary at the beginning and you will be better informed that just about anyone. Going to the primary sources is easy enough, and it's really enjoyable (a weird word in this context) to form opinions based on the rawest information available. Of course the actual report is a political document in itself, but that aspect is as much a part of the coverage of the report as the contents itself.

- e12e 11y agoShouldn't it remain readily available to at least the citizens of the US? If nowhere else, via the Library of Congress? An initial search didn't turn up that report (as far as I can tell, at a glance, there's a couple of funding documents authored by Feinstein at least) -- but there's a rather depressing list of other documents: https://www.loc.gov/search/?q="Committee+Study+of+the+Central+Intelligence+Agency's+Detention+and+Interrogation+Program&st=list&c=150 https://www.loc.gov/search/?q="Committee+Study+of+the+Centra... Like the older: United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary Hearing June 10, 2008 "Coercive Interrogation Techniques: Do They Work, Are They Reliable, and What Did the FBI Know About Them?" https://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/Senate-Judiciary-Hearing-June-10-2008.pdf https://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/Senate-Judiciary... (39 pages, some interesting points are made, among them some pretty clear arguments that torture is illegal, and harsh techniques that for some reason or other are deemed to not be torture may also be illegal...)
- iamthepieman 11y agoThanks for the link but it looks like it's no longer available. I'm getting a "Page not found" Is this the same study that you linked? http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2014/12/politics/torture-report/ http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2014/12/politics/torture-repo...
