The story of how the Central Intelligence Agency came to operate a secretive program of rendition, detention, and interrogation under President George W. Bush has been made public by a number of investigations into the abuses that resulted. In 2007, the Red Cross detailed the methods used to interrogate suspects at CIA-run \u201cblack sites.\u201d\u009d In 2010, the Justice Department\u2019s Office of Professional Responsibility strongly criticized the Bush administration lawyers who wrote the legal memos permitting the CIA to use torture. And last year, the Constitution Project Task Force on Detainee Treatment\u201d\u201da nonpartisan group that included a number of former military and intelligence personnel\u201d\u201danalyzed what is known about mistreatment of detainees and the policy decisions that led to such ugly consequences.<\/p>\n
Now a new report is expected from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which is charged with overseeing the activities of the CIA.<\/p>\n
