CIA Torture Report: Oversight, by No Remedies Yet:

CIA Torture Report: Oversight, by No Remedies Yet: Last week, the Senate Intelligence Committee released its report on the CIA's post 9/11 interrogation program. The report details the inhumane and brutal treatment of detainees, and was not a story the CIA was motivated to tell. Steven Aftergood writes that the Committee report is a remarkable demonstration of the congressional oversight function as it was performed in adverse, unfavorable conditions, as committee questions were ignored and inaccurate information was provided. The most important omission from the report is the absence of any discussion of remedies.https://fas.org/blogs/secrecy/2014/12/torture-remedies/
