The report[3] details actions by CIA offic ials\, including torturing prisoners\, providing misleading or false infor mation[4] about classified CIA programs to the media\, impeding government oversight and internal criticism\, and mismanaging of the program. It als o revealed the existence of previously unknown detainees\, that more detai nees were subjected to harsher treatment than was previously disclosed\, a nd that more forms of torture were used than previously disclosed. It conc luded that torturing prisoners did not help acquire actionable intelligenc e or gain cooperation from detainees and that the program damaged[5] the U nited States' international standing. Republican Senator John McCain noted that the report 'is a thorough and thoughtful study of practices that I b elieve not only failed their purpose -- to secure actionable intelligence to prevent further attacks on the US and our allies -- but actually damage d our security interests\, as well as our reputation as a force for good i n the world.'[6]The investigation lasted more than six years[7] and found that the CIA’s torture was far more brutal than the agency had told the Bu sh administration or Congress. It found unequivocally that torture produce d no valuable counter-terrorism intelligence.[8] Following the completion of the report in 2014\,[9] it was revealed that the CIA had been surveilli ng[10] the work of the committee. Due to public outcry[11] to release the full findings of the report before the inauguration of pro-torture[12] bus inessman and television producer Donald Trump to the US presidency\, the O bama administration agreed to preserve[13] the findings of the report in h is presidential library. A heavily redacted 500 page summary of the report is public.[14]The completion of the report and Jones' departure from the Intelligence Committee was heralded by former Intelligence Committee vice chair Dianne Feinstein in a tribute submitted to the congressional record. [15] Jones has been interviewed on the record regarding his work on the in vestigation and the subsequent controversy of the CIA [16] and DOJ's inade quate response to the report.[17] \; DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170417T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170417T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20200211T173206Z LOCATION:Malkin Penthouse\, Littauer Building 4th Floor SUMMARY:Guest Speaker: Torture and Public Policy with Daniel Jones URL;TYPE=URI:https://carrcenter.hks.harvard.edu/event/guest-speaker-torture -and-public-policy-daniel-jones END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
