Eritrea is the only nation in East Africa not implicated in the global CIA
torture network, according to Senate Intelligence Committee's report
released today.
The report finds Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya and Somalia have all unlawfully
facilitated CIA torture of suspects alleged to have ties with extremist
groups.
The study, distilled from more than six million CIA documents, also says the
agency consistently misled Congress and the Bush Administration about the
harsh methods it used and the results it obtained from interrogating
suspects.
After examining 20 case studies, the committee found that torture "regularly
resulted in fabricated information", said committee chairwoman Dianne
Feinstein, in a statement summarizing the findings. She called the torture
program "a stain on our values and on our history".
The investigators concluded that the "enhanced interrogation techniques" did
not provide any worthwhile intelligence. It also indicates that CIA officers
themselves repeatedly questioned whether the interrogations were useful.
