Nonpartisan Review: U.S. Practiced Torture After 9/11
A study by the nonpartisan Constitution Project affirms that the United States committed acts of torture after 9/11.
The sweeping, 577-page report says that while brutality has occurred in every American war, there never before had been “the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred after 9/11 directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody.”
The report states, “it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture” and that the nation’s highest officials bore ultimate responsibility for it.
