Top officials 'shaped' torture policy

Top officials 'shaped' torture policy

Agence France-Presse

The 232-page report released Tuesday by the Senate Armed Services Committee is likely to stoke the ongoing debate over U.S. techniques widely seen as torture.

The panel, led by Democratic Sen. Carl Levin, released its chief conclusions in December 2008, but its detailed findings had been kept under wraps during U.S. Defense Department declassification proceedings. Levin said that the report showed that claims by top aides to then-president George W. Bush "that detainee abuses could be chalked up to the unauthorized acts of a 'few bad apples,' were simply false."
