Intense reaction that continues to the Senate Report on torture methods used by the cia. A former head of the spy agency says those methods saved thousands of american lives. Critics counter the tactics were brutal and they gathered little or no useful information. Heres abcs martha raddatz. Reporter the details of what american interrogators did to detainees in the dark days after 9 11 are vivid and gruesome. Stripped naked and diapered. One detainee chained to a wall for 17 Straight Days in a standing position. Another threatened with a drill. One left to die in a cell from hypothermia. At least five detainees were hydrated or fed through a tube inserted into the colon to give the interrogator, quote, total control over the detainee. The interrogations of cia detainees were absolutely brutal. Far worse than the cia represented them to policymakers and others. Reporter the first terrorist detained, abu zubaydah, believed to be a key al qaeda operative, was waterboarded 83 times at a cia black site. After convulsing and vomiting in one session, he became completely unresponsive with bubbles rising through his open, full mouth. Kept in a coffin sized box for 11 days, he was told the only way hed leave the facility was in a coffin. The report concluded that despite the extreme interrogation, zubaydah had no new information about future plots. Eventually, even the cia team begin to fall apart. It seems the collective opinion that we should not go much further. Several on the team profoundly affected. Some to the point of tears and choking up. Cia officers were operating at black sites from afghanistan to thailand to poland. Interrogating 119 detainees and some of the interrogators themselves, the report says, included individuals with workplace anger Management Issues and had reportedly admitted to sexual assault. History will judge us by our commitment to a just society governed by law and the willingness to face an ugly truth and say never again. Reporter two of the detainees shackled for 24 hours in a standing position were later found to be informants for the cia who had been trying to share intelligence with the agency. And another stunning revelation . The report concludes that torture did not lead to useful information in any of the 20 cases that were investigated. The cia, of course, disputes that. Martha raddatz, abc news, washington. U. S. Embassies in high risk countries and americans living in those countries have been told to be on alert following the release of the cia report. During an interview with our sister new york fusion, president obama was asked if americans are in danger because of the new torture details. Weve taken precautionary measures in our embassies and around the world. Theres never a perfect time to release a report like this. But it was important for us to recognize that part of what sets us apart is when we do something wrong, we acknowledge it. The president , anyone using those torture methods today would be held accountable for breaking the law.
