Military prosecutor backs CIA interrogation Senate report
Brig. Gen. Mark Martins at Guantanamo Bay says the executive summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA interrogation program is accurate. The declaration contests CIA officials and Republicans who call the report flawed while noting factual recitations come from executive branch documents. The Senate findings describe waterboarding, beating, confinement boxes, sleep deprivation, mock executions, and a detainee death in Afghanistan. Defense lawyers seek access to all related documents.
