US Senate Report Indicts CIA Of Worse Torture Tactics.

The CIA tortured al-Qaeda suspects with rectal feeding, waterboarding and threats to harm their children and sexually abuse their mothers, according to a long-delayed and highly controversial Senate report published on Tuesday.

One suspect died of hypothermia while naked chained to a floor while at least five detainees were rectally-fed their meals as a method of behavioral control at 'black sites' or the Guantanamo military base in Cuba.

One interrogator told another detainee that he would never go to court, 'because we can never let the world know what I have done to you'.  

Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat chair of the intelligence committee which prepared the report, said on Capitol Hill today that the torture was 'a stain on our values and on our history'. 

Obama added: 'I will continue to use my authority as President to make sure we never resort to those methods again.'

The 500-page document released on Tuesday included conclusions of a still-secret, 6,700-page report, the results of a five-year, $40 million investigation, which showed that the CIA lied to cover up torture.

The Senate report concluded that 'the ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ didn't produce results where it really mattered - most importantly, the killing of Osama bin Laden and the thwarting of terrorist attacks.

After reviewing 6 million agency documents, investigators could find no example of unique and life-saving intelligence gleaned from the coercive techniques that in some cases left detainees hallucinating and suicidal. The sweeping conclusion is another the CIA and Republicans dispute.  

The U.S. military was on high alert around the world on Tuesday in preparation for ugly details of American torture techniques being released. 

Of the 119 known detainees that were in CIA custody during the life of the program, at least 26 were wrongfully held.
