The Senate's Appalling CIA Torture Report, by the Numbers

Impact

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence finally released its long-awaited, long-delayed report on the use of torture by the U.S. government on Tuesday. The 499-page executive summary, culled from nearly 6,000 documents, paints a ghastly portrait of the CIA's enhanced interrogation and detention programs. And it's the Senate committee's determination that not only does CIA torture not work in the service of "national security," but the CIA lied to Congress, the White House and the American people about what it was doing, the level of brutality and whether it was even successful.
