Reviews

Selected as a 2014 Notable Government Document by the American Library Association and promoted in the Library Journal magazine May/June issue.

Excerpt from Library Journal May/June 2015 issue:  http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2015/05/reference/meeting-information-...

"After much anticipation, this declassified version of the executive summary that was originally submitted to the president earlier in 2014 was made available to the public at year’s end. While the full classified report is still restricted to members of the Senate and specified executive branch agencies, this version delves into the Senate’s investigation of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program, which ended in 2006. It contains 20 specific findings regarding the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and the conditions of CIA detainees and takes to task the agency for its methods and its impediment of any oversight attempts. The conclusion is that the program’s interrogation techniques were ineffective at acquiring intelligence and ultimately damaged the country’s standing in the world."
