The Senate released a 528-page executive summary of its study on the CIA’s detention program, more than eight years after the secret overseas prisons were shut down.
The Senate Intelligence Committee’s highly anticipated report on the CIA’s interrogation and detention program listed, for the first time, the names of the 119 detainees who went through the agency’s secret prison system.
In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, the CIA established secret prisons to hold detainees and to allow for the use of harsh interrogation methods.
The 528-page document catalogues dozens of cases in which CIA officials allegedly deceived their superiors at the White House, members of Congress and even sometimes their own peers.
