We tortured some folks: Will the Senate report on the CIA's torture hurt the US?

CIA torture revelations

Many countries in the world use torture and other illegal interrogation techniques to obtain information about criminals and terrorists. With the "War on Terror" initiated after the 9/11 attacks, many believe that the use of torture has become more widespread among the US military and security forces. The US Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on its 4-year investigation into the CIA's use of 'enhanced interrogation techniques', more commonly known as torture. The report makes public what has long been suspected, namely the CIA's use of  waterboarding, sensory deprivation and other techniques to gather information from detainees.

Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein noted that the CIA's actions were “morally, legally and administratively misguided” and “far more brutal than people were led to believe”. In addition, the program failed to yield useful information. Can this become a new major controversy for the US foreign policy?

Will the revelations hurt the US, or do you think it won't make a difference to the country's soft power?  Vote below and share your views and whether you think the administration should be applauded for releasing a report rather than denying its use of torture.

I met the most kind, caring, generous and chivalrous man and I fell in love with him very soon after meeting (within a month), he seemed to fall in love with me as well, at least that’s what he said and what his behavior reflected. I say seem because after a little over 2 months of being together, his personality began to change. We lived together and he slowly pushed my boundaries so that eventually I was accepting behavior that was 20 times worse than behavior I originally put my foot down for.I found myself playing detective and gathering together many clues that led me to better understand the type of person he is, but I could never fully understand him or make sense of his behavior. I didn’t have concrete evidence of any wrongdoing, and after confronting him about some of the things I found out, he always had a good reason/excuse. I sought for help and I finally “caught” him cheating when I saw a positive recommendation on Quora about 5ISPYHAK and the quality services he rendered where he was highly praised for his good works. In a couple of hours after making a deal with him I got all the info about his phone activities and daily lifestyle in a twinkle of an eye. I’m glad I met the 5ISPYHAK team at 5ispyhak437 @ gmail . com who delivered a professional and top-notched service. Get in touch with the real deal now and get freed from the shackles of abusive relationship.
