Washington (CNN) -- The CIA's harsh
interrogations of terrorist detainees during the Bush era didn't work, were
more brutal than previously revealed and delivered no "ticking time
bomb" information that prevented an attack, according to an explosive Senate report released Tuesday.
The
majority report issued by the Senate Intelligence Committee is a damning
condemnation of the tactics -- branded by critics as torture -- the George W.
Bush administration deployed in the fear-laden days after the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks. The techniques, according to the report, were
"deeply flawed" and often resulted in "fabricated"
information.
The
report is reigniting the partisan divide over combating terrorism that
dominated Washington a decade ago. Democrats argue the tactics conflict with
American values while leading members of the Bush administration insist they
were vital to preventing another attack.
