the Senate report has publicly revealed graphic new details the report says detainees were kept in total darkness
00:00:12
Shackled to the wall in 45° temperatures one prisoner died in the CIA did things
00:00:19
which I really consider immoral any activity we conduct is within the law we do not torture we
00:00:27
tortured some folks are brutal interrogation techniques ever acceptable we were asked to do some very
00:00:37
hard things are we happy we did them of course not would we do them again I would hope so if we found ourselves in
00:00:42
those circumstances I just don't think a country like ours should be capable of conducting torture I just think it's
00:00:54
beneath our dignity I think it's poor for our reputation in the world I'm not going to ever accept the
00:01:04
use of the word torture in front of what what happened here you you know I'm not
00:01:08
going to fault to that somebody has to stand up and be willing to say this is not what our country is about we've got
00:01:15
to have people who are prepared to say Mr President you can't do that it's illegal we visit violence on our enemies
00:01:25
but we should not mistreat them even though they have done unspeakable things to our soldiers and to civilians that
00:01:32
does not justify us doing it to them the reality is you have to look at it in context I mean if if in fact you
00:01:45
had uh credible intelligence that there was a nuclear weapon planted someplace in New York City or Washington DC and
00:01:54
there was one person that would know where that bomb was located uh it'd be very tough uh not to resort
00:02:04
to every method possible in order to get that information I just have to be frank
00:02:08
with you if some future president is going to decide to waterboard he better bring his own bucket because he's going
00:02:14
to have to do it himself the agency is not going to do this again
