There's more in the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture[1]
"The CIA had force-fed some prisoners orally and/or anally in order to establish "total control over the detainee."^[47] The report notes that CIA documents indicate "Chief of Interrogations [redacted] also ordered the rectal rehydration of KSM without a determination of medical need, a procedure that the chief of interrogations would later characterize as illustrative of the interrogator's 'total control over the detainee.'"^[1]^:82 of 499"
"The Committee found that "[a]t least five CIA detainees were subjected to 'rectal rehydration' or rectal feeding without documented medical necessity."^[48] These detainees are listed as Abu Zubaydah, Khalid Shaykh Mohammad, Majid Khan, and Marwan al-Jabbur.^[1]^:114 of 499"
"At least one prisoner was "diagnosed with chronic hemorrhoids, an anal fissure and symptomatic rectal prolapse," symptoms normally associated with a violent rape.^[49] The report identified this detainee as Mustafa al-Hawsawi.^[1]^:100 of 499"
"CIA officials, including general counsel Scott Miller and deputy director of operations James Pavitt, were told that rectal exams of at least two prisoners had been conducted with "excessive force."^[49] A CIA attorney was asked to follow up on these incidents, but the report states that "CIA records do not indicate any resolution of the inquiry."^[1]^:100 of 499"
