Senators push to limit CIA torture techniques
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Senators push to limit CIA torture techniques | 13 June 2015 | Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has joined a bipartisan team pushing to limit brutal interrogation torture techniques — such as waterboarding, sleep deprivation and electric shock — the CIA can use on detainees. McCain and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., proposed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act in the Senate last week that would prohibit the use of so-called “enhanced interrogation” tactics and allow the CIA to only use techniques listed in the Army Field Manual, such as deception, the silent treatment and isolation. The amendment would make permanent an executive order signed by President Barack Obama in 2009 that limited interrogation techniques to those found in the Army Field Manual.
