Now available to the public for the first time, the Senate's landmark torture report delivers a damning indictment on CIA interrogation practices.

Finally declassified and released after five years in the making, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the CIA’s torture program, which describes in excruciating detail what Obama has called “harsh methods . . . inconsistent with our values as a nation,” is now available to the American public—citizens who have a right to know the truth.

Considered one of the most important government documents ever to be published, the torture report compiles the Senate committee’s findings of the CIA’s program to detain and interrogate terrorist threats in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, from 2001 to 2006 during the Bush administration. Among other controversial conclusions, the report has found that the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation techniques” were not effective in acquiring intelligence to avert terrorist threats. The study also shows that the CIA misled the public, Congress, the Department of Justice, and even the White House on the effectiveness and the scope and severity of their interrogation techniques. The exhaustive and disturbing account also provides grisly accounts on horrific practices that occurred in CIA black sites: prisoners experienced sleep deprivation in stressful positions for up to 180 hours; being stripped and shackled, hooded and dragged down a long corridor while being punched; waterboarding; and “rectal feeding.”

Based on six million CIA documents and requiring $40 million to complete, the entire 6,000-page report still remains classified. Only 525 pages of summary have been published, with 7 percent of its content redacted, and it is now at the disposal of American readers who have the opportunity to learn what occurred during this dark chapter in modern American history. The Senate report delivers a scathing, shocking, and controversial judgment, and gives us much to think about in terms of our longstanding position on freedom, democracy, dignity, and human rights.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A portrait of depravity that is hard to comprehend and even harder to stomach.” —The New York Times

“The most scathing congressional indictment of the Central Intelligence Agency in nearly four decades.” —Guardian

"One of the most shocking documents ever produced by any modern democracy about its own abuses of its own highest principles." —Guardian

“An exhaustive five-year Senate investigation of the CIA’s secret interrogations of terrorism suspects renders a strikingly bleak verdict . . . describing levels of brutality, dishonesty and seemingly arbitrary violence that at times brought even agency employees to moments of anguish.” —The Washington Post

“The most extensive review of U.S. intelligence-gathering tactics in generations.” —The Los Angeles Times

“Releasing this report is an important step to restoring our values and showing the world that we are a just society.” —Senate Intelligence Committee chairman and Senator Diane Feinstein

“I believe the American people have a right—indeed, a responsibility—to know what was done in their name; how these practices did or did not serve our interests; and how they comported with our most important values . . . This report strengthens self-government and, ultimately, I believe, America’s
security and stature in the world.” —Senator John McCain

About the Author

Teach the children the truth

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2015

This book is not a page turner in the sense of well written novel. This book gives a cold hard look at the depraved underbelly of our federal government. A factual and dispassionate narrative of the programs that went into effect after 9/11. I don't agree with senator McCain on many things but the story needs to be told. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions", is so painfully true here as we bear witness the atrocities committed in our name. This book does not cause me to love my country any less. I will keep it as conscious reminder how quickly things can change for the worse. To anyone that seeks to justify these deeds, just remember that if these things can be done to ' those people' it can be done to you. I will pass it on to my sons so that will have a chance to learn the truth, ugly as it might be, and never forget this dark period in our civilization.

Must be read with a magnifying glass!

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

I thought that this would be an 8.5 by 11 inch book, just like the Joint Inquiry 9/11 Report. Instead, it is a 6 by 9 inch book, and as a result the print is VERY VERY tiny. I will have to read the text with a magnifying glass, and the footnotes, which are even smaller (!), I will probably not be able to read at all. What is in the mind of publishers who are so miserly that they decided to print books with such tiny, cramped print? It is really stupid to make a book so difficult to read!

A pretty heavy read

Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

At least a third of the book focuses on further reference or sources for how the book was written. A lot of jargon used in it too. Nonetheless pretty interesting to hear of how these detainees were treated. In all cases quite compelling but not quite surprising. Interesting to link up with this current President's talk of reviving the DIP and know what exactly would be brought back. EIT not being anything of a new concept anyways.
