CAIR Seeks 'Accountability' Following Release of Senate Torture Report

CAIR asks for prompt "accountability," along with changes in law and government policies after the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA's use of torture in the years following the 9/11 terror attacks. The report concludes that the CIA repeatedly tortured detainees, including using the simulated drowning technique called "waterboarding" and that the information gathered using torture produced no security benefits. The Report accuses the CIA of repeatedly lying to Congress, the White House and the American public.
