This is the complete Executive Summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation into the CIA's interrogation and detention programs -- a.k.a., The Torture Report. Based on over six million pages of secret CIA documents, the report details a covert program of secret prisons, prisoner deaths, interrogation practices, and cooperation with other foreign and domestic agencies, as well as the CIA's efforts to hide the details of the program from the White House, the Department of Justice, the Congress, and the American people. Over five years in the making, it is presented here exactly as redacted and released by the United States government on December 9, 2014, with an introduction by Daniel J. Jones, who led the Senate investigation. This special edition includes: • Large, easy-to-read format. • Almost 3,000 notes formatted as footnotes, exactly as they appeared in the original report. This allows readers to see obscured or clarifying details as they read the main text. • An introduction by Senate staffer Daniel J. Jones who led the investigation and wrote the report for the Senate Intelligence Committee, and a forward by the head of that committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Book excerpt: Now available to the public for the first time, the Senate's landmark torture report delivers a damning indictment on CIA interrogation practices. Finally declassified and released after five years in the making, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the CIA’s torture program, which describes in excruciating detail what Obama has called “harsh methods . . . inconsistent with our values as a nation,” is now available to the American public—citizens who have a right to know the truth. Considered one of the most important government documents ever to be published, the torture report compiles the Senate committee’s findings of the CIA’s program to detain and interrogate terrorist threats in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, from 2001 to 2006 during the Bush administration. Among other controversial conclusions, the report has found that the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation techniques” were not effective in acquiring intelligence to avert terrorist threats. The study also shows that the CIA misled the public, Congress, the Department of Justice, and even the White House on the effectiveness and the scope and severity of their interrogation techniques. The exhaustive and disturbing account also provides grisly accounts on horrific practices that occurred in CIA black sites: prisoners experienced sleep deprivation in stressful positions for up to 180 hours; being stripped and shackled, hooded and dragged down a long corridor while being punched; waterboarding; and “rectal feeding.” Based on six million CIA documents and requiring $40 million to complete, the entire 6,000-page report still remains classified. Only 525 pages of summary have been published, with 7 percent of its content redacted, and it is now at the disposal of American readers who have the opportunity to learn what occurred during this dark chapter in modern American history. The Senate report delivers a scathing, shocking, and controversial judgment, and gives us much to think about in terms of our longstanding position on freedom, democracy, dignity, and human rights.

Book excerpt: The Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program, commonly known as the CIA Torture Report, is the 526-page unclassified summary of a 5,000-plus-page report compiled by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the Central Intelligence Agency Detention and Interrogation Program. The CIA used enhanced interrogation techniques (a euphemism for torture) on detainees following the 9/11 attacks. The full report has not been published, but the committee voted in April 2014 to release the recommendations, executive summary, and findings of the report. The unclassified summary was released on December 9, 2014, after a presentation on the floor of the Senate by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the chairwoman of the Select Committee on Intelligence. Over 90% of the report remains classified. The report, which took four years and $40 million to compile, focused on 2001-06. It detailed actions by CIA officials and shortcomings of the detention project. One key finding was that enhanced interrogation techniques did not help acquire actionable intelligence or gain cooperation from detainees. The report also details the CIA's misrepresentations to both Congress and the Bush Administration leadership, about the scope of the program and the details surrounding use of torture. The CIA Torture Report is a chilling and eye-opening document, and one that every citizen should read and contemplate.

Book excerpt: **UNCLASSIFIED EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AS REDACTED FOR RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC** From the Foreword: On April 3, 2014 the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted to send the Findings and conclusions and THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of its final Study on the CIA's Detention and Interrogation program to the president for declassification and subsequent public release. This action marked the culmination of a monumental effort that officially began with the Committee's decision to initiate the Study in March 2009, but which had its roots in an investigation into the CIA's destruction of videotapes of CIA detainee interrogations that began in December 2007. The full Committee Study, which totals more than 6,700 pages, remains classified but is now an official Senate report. The full report has been provided to the White House, the CIA, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the hopes that it will prevent future covert interrogation practices and inform the management of other covert action programs. The Committee's Study is more than ten times the length of THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY and includes comprehensive and excruciating detail... While THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY provides sufficient detail... the full Committee Study is far more extensive... I chose not to seek declassification of the full Committee Study at this time.... Seeking declassification of the more than six thousand page report would have significantly delayed the release of THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. - Dianne Feinstein, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman

Book excerpt: The Senate Intelligence Committee's summary of its report on the CIA's post-9/11 torture program provides a sobering glimpse into one of the darkest chapters in the U.S. government's history. After a grueling 5-year investigation, Senate investigators reveal torrid details of the systemic and individual failures by the agency personnel who ran the "enhanced interrogation program" -- the government's euphemism for systematic torture--during the George W. Bush administration. The program involved capturing terrorism suspects and shipping them to secret overseas prisons, where they were subjected to techniques such as waterboarding (and worse). This is the full, 526-page executive summary unclassified and released by the Senate.
