US Senate report slams CIA prisons

The summary of a report on CIA secret prisons organized after the September 11 attacks, presented in the US Senate on Tuesday described the interrogation techniques used there as brutal and not bringing desired results. “This document examines the CIA's secret overseas detention of at least 119 individuals and the use of coercive interrogation techniques - in some cases amounting to torture,” Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein was quoted as saying by Reuters. The report does not directly mention Poland as one of the locations of the CIA black sites. However, according to information quoted by Polish Radio, the country is codenamed “blue” in the document. Poland's governments have been denying the existence of interrogation sites on its land since the charge was first formulated. This year, the country lost a case at the European Court of Human Rights filed by two men who said they had been detained on Polish territory.
