Security measures toughened at US institutions in foreign countries (video)
Security measures at US institutions in foreign countries have been toughened after the publication of the Senate report on CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) torture. Jihadist groups are reportedly preparing terrorist attacks against Americans. Contrary to what the CIA told the Justice Department, the report says, this interrogation technique ‘was physically harmful, inducing convulsions and vomiting.’ The report also says that the CIA may have waterboarded more detainees than previously disclosed. For example, the Senate committee’s researchers turned up a photograph of a waterboard and buckets of water at a site where the agency had said that it wasn’t waterboarding. In addition to waterboarding, the report says, the CIA used a variety of aggressive techniques on its prisoners, including isolating them, depriving them of sleep, stripping them of their clothes and keeping them naked, subjecting them to loud music, and pinning their arms above their heads. The report also says that the CIA “placed detainees in ice water ‘baths.’ The CIA led several detainees to believe they would never be allowed to leave CIA custody alive, suggesting to one detainee that he would only leave in a coffin-shaped box. 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.’ CIA officers also threatened at least three detainees with harm to their families.”
