The US Senate Committee's Report on the CIA's use of Torture details flagrant, repeated acts of torture that are banned by international law. These acts of torture were directed by the Bush Administration and carried out by the CIA and it's subordinates and contractors, with full knowledge that their actions were illegal. Said parties made repeated efforts to cover up these crimes and to stop this report from being made public. Because many thousands of pages of data on torture, and the summary derived from those pages, and Senate Report were all heavily condensed and redacted, it is possible that far more heinous crimes were committed by the perpetrators. The United States is obligated by law to prosecute all guilty parties in this matter.
