Harsh CIA Torture Tactics Do Not Work

The harsh torture tactics that the CIA  used to try and get information from the 911 attack prisoners at GITMO have proven time and time again to not work. The information they gathered was/is actually unreliable at best.

The pressure and abject hatred for the detainees is understandable. In their eyes (the CIA) the prisoners were responsible for thousands of innocent people dying. That doesn't excuse their actions, but it is understandable.

WASHINGTON — In a damning indictment of CIA practices, Senate investigators on Tuesday accused the spy agency of inflicting pain and suffering on al-Qaida prisoners far beyond America's legal boundaries and then deceiving the ... on Zubaydah and two other detainees, the report emphasizes, was far different from anything the U.S. military does in training and more brutal than the careful procedures laid out in Justice Department memos authorizing the tactic.

In a damning indictment of CIA practices, Senate investigators on Tuesday accused the spy agency of inflicting pain and suffering on al-Qaida prisoners far beyond America’s legal boundaries and then deceiving the nation with narratives of life-saving interrogations unsubstantiated by its own records.

The Senate Intelligence Committee released a mountain of evidence from CIA files suggesting the treatment of detainees in secret prisons a decade ago was worse than the government described to Congress or the public. It was the first official public accounting after years of debate about the CIA’s brutal handling of prisoners.

At the White House, President Barack Obama declared the practices, used on detainees after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, to be “contrary to our values.” He pledged, “I will continue to use my authority as president to make sure we never resort to those methods again.”

The report doesn’t call the tactics torture. But committee chairman Dianne Feinstein, commanding the Senate floor for an extended address, declared that “under any common meaning of the term, CIA detainees were tortured.”

Besides the now-well-known practice of waterboarding, tactics included weeks of sleep deprivation, slapping and slamming of detainees against walls, confining them to small boxes, keeping them isolated for prolonged periods and threatening them with death.

Harsh CIA Torture Tactics Do Not Work now nor will they work in the future.I think that the CIA is probably redirecting their mind set toward the backwards thought patterns of al-Qaida and now ISIS.
