Al Qaeda Torture

The US Supreme Court on Monday turned back an appeal by rights groups seeking to make public a damning report on the CIA's post-September 11 torture program, ensuring it will remain secret.

The lawmaker behind the explosive US Senate report on enhanced interrogation techniques presented several torture prevention proposals on Monday to US President Barack Obama including a ban on the CIA holding detainees.

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee released new information on Thursday that he claims is evidence that the Bush Administration misled the nation in the run-up to the war in Iraq.

Former US President George W Bush was fully aware of and an "integral part" of the CIA's torture of terror suspects, his Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday.

Hailed as a major success in the US "war on terror," the capture of Indonesian cleric Hambali if often touted by the US intelligence community as evidence that harsh interrogation produces results.

Sleep deprivation for over a week, beatings, shackling, and waterboarding - a grim litany of the cruel methods used by the Bush-era CIA to interrogate Al-Qaeda terror suspects was exposed on Tuesday.

The US Senate Intelligence Committee will release a long-delayed, damning report next week on Bush-era "enhanced interrogation" practices by the CIA that US President Barack Obama and others have described as torture.

The Central Intelligence Agency tortured Al Qaeda suspects "until the point of death" by drowning them in water-filled baths, Britain's Daily Telegraph reported on Monday, ahead of the publication of a US Senate report on interrogation techniques.
