December 9 is the anniversary of the partial release of The Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA Interrogations in 2014. It detailed the extent of the CIA’s crimes against its detainees during their “War on Terror” from 2001-2009.

The contents we know about are damning. It details the torture, abuse, and suffering that 119 prisoners of the CIA endured. Nearly a quarter of them were wrongfully detained. People were raped, kept awake for days, beaten, waterboarded, and even froze to death. The mental damage done to the prisoners was immense. Many of them attempted suicide, and many more suffer from debilitating mental problems as a result of their ordeal. As nearly anyone could have predicted, these “enhanced interrogation techniques” didn’t provide any useful intelligence. The whole thing was a blatant act of sadism on the part of the regime’s secret police, and a clear human rights violation.

“Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” were officially banned in 2009. But the crimes still continue. Guantanamo Bay still holds 30 prisoners. Nobody ever even faced charges for torturing prisoners.
