This report highlights a systemic failure to uphold those laws and principles. “It is troubling and difficult to digest, but it’s important to have all the facts to prevent a repeat of these mistakes. “The use of torture is abhorrent and stands in stark contrast to our constitution and values. It is not an effective tool to obtain reliable intelligence. “As we continue to confront the threat of terrorism at home and abroad, we are reminded that we are stronger as a nation when we remain true to our democratic principles.” -end- Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
