Investigating Torture: The FBI's & CIA's Final Conclusions

Adam Fitzgerald on Odysee

In the aftermath of the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), along with the Department of Defense (DoD), began the process of perusing the terrorists and their associates involved. In the timeframe between 2002-2006, the CIA's "rendition program" was given a green light while Pentagon and State Department officials hired CIA psychologists who implemented the "enhanced interrogation program" called SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) on those captured.
Reports were leaked about secret CIA prisons in the Middle East and Europe that used barbarous torture methods to extract information on subjects they believed were behind the 9/11 attacks. In 2006 a Senate Committee was formed headed by Senator Dianne Feinstein (United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence), and released it's findings in a 6,700 page report entitled "The Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program". In the many pages of the report, the Committee investigated the CIA and its torture of many inmates which showed the results of their brutal practices.
In this episode i speak about the Committee's final conclusions of the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques, the FBI's report on what they saw in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the laws that were changed in the days after September 11th 2001, that led to the creation of the agency's program that was universally condemned while the CIA tried to coverup their involvement.
