"The report finds that CIA detainees subjected to what were then called “enhanced interrogation techniques” either produced no intelligence, or they “fabricated information, resulting in faulty intelligence”. It says that the CIA’s own interrogators “assessed that the most effective method for acquiring intelligence from detainees, including from detainees the CIA considered to be the most ‘high-value’, was to confront the detainees with information already acquired by the intelligence community”."
You can attempt to ignore this fact and argue whether we should or shouldn't torture people, but at that point you are arguing whether we should or should not submit people to gruesome deaths because we think they may have done something wrong (with little to no evidence.)
