CIA torture report reveals tactics WORSE than agency let on: Al Qaeda suspects were kept awake in 'stress positions' for 180 hours, waterboarded until vomiting and unconscious and one died of hypothermia chained naked to a floor

  •  
  •  Khalid Shaykh Mohammad, who the U.S. believe to be the principal architect of 9/11, was waterboarded to the point of drowning, according to internal CIA reports
  • The suspects were subjected to waterboarding, stress positions in shackles and sleep deprivation for 180 hours 
  • One suspect died of hypothermia while naked chained to a floor
  • At least five CIA detainees were subjected to 'rectal feeding' as a method of behavioral control 
  • Detainee Majid Khan had his head below his torso and his lunch of hummus, pasta, sauce and raisins ‘pureed’ and rectally infused
  • Detainees in the 'dungeon' were constantly shackled in isolation, complete darkness with constant loud music and only a bucket for human waste
  • One interrogator told a detainee he would never go to court, because 'we can never let the world know what I have done to you'
  • The 'enhanced interrogation techniques' did not thwart terrorist plots or reveal the identities of key al Qaeda members 
  • Obama said in response to report: 'I will continue to use my authority as President to make sure we never resort to those methods again'
  • The brutal interrogations took place at either CIA-run secret prisons known as 'black sites' or the Guantanamo Bay U.S. military base in Cuba 
  • Senator Dianne Feinstein, who led committee, said: 'Examining mistakes and remedying them is the mark of a great and just society'
