CIA Under Investigation

CIA Investigation into torture cover-up.

CIA has been accused of paying off interrogators of terror suspects. Psychologists were paid $81 million to enhance interrogation methods. Inhuman torture methods were used on suspects even after there was no more information to be gathered. Some methods include waterboarding (which is illegal). This is absolutely appalling. I understand that information needs to be gathered however torture is not the answer. One man was waterboarded 183 times! A detainee died of hypothermia in 2002. They did not gather any information into finding Osama bin Laden. This is horrifying. I hope those accused will be punished.

  1. I agree; the torture was completely inhumane and unnecessary. Since the CIA did it, who do you think should be investigating? Maybe people in the United Nations who work with human rights instead of our own government? I understand the CIA misled the White House, but I still don't think that they'll fairly prosecute them. It's absolutely atrocious what they did to (end up failing to) get information out of these suspects. Do you think things like this still go on in our nation too?

  2. Instead of torture, what do you think the CIA should do in order to gather information?

  3. The UN, hopefully, will be investigating this problem and will hold people accountable.
