CIA torture sparks world outrage, demands for justice

– ‘Russian Roulette’ –

“There was a career federal prosecutor assigned to this case and this individual conducted an extensive inquiry,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on CNN.

“And upon looking at the facts in evidence decided not to pursue an indictment.”

The report, released by Democratic committee chair Dianne Feinstein over the objections of some of her Republican colleagues, said CIA torture had been more brutal than previously acknowledged.

It was also badly supervised and ineffective, it found, and CIA officials deliberately misled Congress and the White House about the value of the intelligence its interrogators were gathering.

Detainees were beaten, waterboarded – some of them dozens of times – and humiliated through the painful use of medically unnecessary “rectal feeding” and “rectal rehydration,” the report said.
