ACLU Director: Prosecute or Pardon Bush for CIA Torture

The Takeaway | Dec 9, 2014

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has released its report on the CIA's use of torture and rendition during the George W. Bush Administration.

The report, which includes several disturbing findings, finds that "the interrogations of CIA detainees were brutal and far worse than the CIA represented to policymakers and others."

Anthony Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, says that President Barack Obama should prosecute or pardon President Bush and members of his administration to establish, with finality, that torture is illegal.
