De-classified CIA report reveals Bush-era torture practices

Yesterday’s release of a classified report on interrogations shows that the CIA used violence and psychological torture when questioning suspects and detainees.  The secret program appears to be a covert operation working outside the confines of the law.

Interrogators operated with little direction and had no system to follow. What resulted were intense interrogations that many allege constitute torture. This is the clearest look to date at the interrogation program created after September 11th, 2002.  The findings of the released information prompted Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate.

FSRN's Washington Editor, Leigh Ann Caldwell, discussed the details of the report.
