Waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods provided no key evidence in the search for Osama bin Laden, according to a senate report obtained by the Associated Press.
The classified report by the Senate Intelligence Committee examines the effectiveness of waterboarding and other interrogation techniques as intelligence gathering tools. Congressional aides and other experts however have refuted the AP's claim, saying that the report does not reach that conclusion. RT's Lindsay France takes a look at the claims on both sides.

-CIA scandal: Leaks reveal brutal torture methods and government lies-

A United States Senate report on the use of torture to extract intelligence from terrorism detainees accuses the Central Intelligence Agency of severely overstating the usefulness of the information gained.
Details of the long-awaited report, produced after a four-year investigation by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, have been leaked to The Washington Post. The paper reports that the probe is a damning indictment on the CIA’s ‘enhanced interrogation’ program, implemented during the administration of President George W. Bush.
The report contains over 20 different conclusions. But the most critical are that the CIA misled the government and the American public by: (a) understating the severity of the interrogation methods used; and (b) overstating the actionable intelligence extracted through torture.
The Post cites unnamed “US officials” who have reviewed the Senate report as stating that the CIA’s ‘enhanced interrogation’ program “yielded little, if any, significant intelligence”.

Americans are waiting to see if President Obama will order prosecutions based on the most recent report on CIA torture.
Sections leaked from the least classified portions of the report outline fraud and incompetence on a massive sale, that and criminal abuses.
Americans may well have to wait forever. Even during Obama’s second “lame duck” term, he is unlikely to proceed against those clearly cited as criminals in this most recent report.
Torture advocate John Brennan, Obama’s current CIA Director, would be one of the first arrested.
The few who have seen “the juicy parts,” read of mutilation, death squads, detainees being dragged behind vehicles until their bodies were unrecognizable. Current CIA director, John Brennan, now an “Obama insider,” was very much a part of this process.
Brennan was a major torture supporter during the Bush administration. Brennan, with no military or operational experience in intelligence, rose to his current position through “telling people what they want to hear.”
Americans are deeply concerned that Brennan, very much part of the CIA’s “cult of torture,” will be able to block needed reforms.
