U.N. official demands prosecution for U.S. torture
The United States is drawing criticism from around the world after the Senate Intelligence Committee unveiled its report on CIA torture.
U.N. Special Rapporteur on Counter Terrorism and Human Rights Ben Emmerson called on the U.S. to prosecute those responsible for crimes outlined in the report. Emmerson said the program was "a clear policy orchestrated at a high level within the Bush administration, which allowed ... systematic crimes and gross violations of international human rights law."
CNN's Erin Burnett spoke with John Yoo, the man who wrote the legal justification for the interrogation tactics used on detainees captured after the 9/11 terror attacks.
Fmr. CIA official: CIA torture report provides ISIS propaganda material
On Tuesday, the FBI and Homeland Security warned federal and local law enforcement to be on guard for violent extremists reacting to an explosive report on the CIA's use of torture.
The report charges that the agency's enhanced interrogation techniques were even more brutal than previously stated and didn't work in obtaining actionable intelligence.
The report details torture that included mock executions, threats of sexual abuse of detainees and even threats of sexual abuse of their family members. Prisoners were kept awake for more than seven days at a time. One prisoner was chained to the floor and left to freeze to death, while others were hooded, then beaten while being dragged.
The report says the techniques were not only "deeply flawed" but they often yielded "fabricated" information - hallucinatory detainees saying anything to make it stop.
The CIA fired back, saying the program was "effective" and substantially helped them obtain crucial information in the war of terror.
Senator John McCain, who was tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam defended the report, while passionately condemning torture.

"I know from personal experience that abuse of prisoners will produce more bad than good intelligence," McCain said on the Senate floor.
But with the FBI's warning of retaliation from violent extremists reacting to the CIA report, should it have been released?
