WASHINGTON — Senate investigators have accused the CIA of inflicting pain and suffering on prisoners with interrogation tactics that went well beyond legal limits after the 9/11 attacks.
The report released Tuesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee says the CIA deceived the nation with its insistence that the harsh interrogation tactics had saved lives. It says those claims are unsubstantiated by the CIA's own records.
The 500-page report represents the executive summary and conclusions from a still-classified 6,700-page full investigation.
