CIA Torture Report Is Not The End Of It!

When Dianne
Feinstein, the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, stood in
front of the Camera to tell us what we know for more than 10 years, most of us
were relieved that the CIA long known secret became well known formally. Even if those who practiced torture still
deny the facts, at least their own government condemned them on the political
and public relation level.
CIA
dirty work is not news in itself, but the idea of justifying the humiliation of
a human being is the key point. The US
government tried hard to convince its own citizens to humiliate some of ‘THEM’
to save ‘US’. It worked and most of US
citizens closed their eyes and silenced their conscience.
The idea of
torture was strange to the western citizen and contrary to our value of
respecting human beings. But US
officials and the CIA, their torture machines, justified their crime as
‘necessary after 9/11’, a crime that has been used to compromise people’s perception to
the Human Rights as a value.
The
6,000-page[1] report is not only about the well-known bad game in the
Guantanamo-bay torture facility but it was a lot of violations of all
principles that represent a dark side of humanity’s modern history.
•
The long
trusted doctors were a key to this operation, where the CIA hired two
psychologists, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, to develop enhanced
interrogation techniques to be used on terror suspects and other detainees,
they had sworn to respect Human Dignity and violated the oath and the dignity.
•
The agency
who should protect and apply law, worked against the law and the people, where
the CIA provided the company and its employees with an indemnification
agreement as protection from lawsuits.
•
While we
fight corruption, illegal money transfer and bribing third world countries
officials, as in construction and other trade contracts, the CIA provided
millions of dollars in cash payments to foreign government officials. Here we
have to remember the rendition program where in 2005, CIA effectively
outsourced operations related to its detention and interrogation program to
third world intelligent services in Syria, Jordan, Morocco and Egypt where Omar
Suleiman, the late head of its intelligent service, was the engineer of all
operations.
The problem
is not only the violation of Human Rights, but also the change in the general
public acceptance for this violation, where terminologies have been created to
turn the bad reality into accepted actions.
It started with the usage of ‘collateral damage’ as a synonym to the
killing of civilians in cold blood, that ended with ‘enhanced interrogation’ instead of its
real name torture.
So long as we
don’t
respect the human dignity of the ‘OTHERS’, we are losing the way to even respect our
dignity. Compromising other people
right’s is the start in losing our own rights, but fear created it and that is
what the CIA did and profited from.
We have to
understand that revealing the story and admitting the wrongdoing by the
government doesn’t stop the CIA from keeping their program under different names or
different tactics. We shouldn’t forget that
countries still practice torture for them under their control;
•
The Syrian
regime will remain in power or will be replaced with a more loyal one, and we
will see how the ISIL came to the front when the revolutionary was very close
to defeating the tyrant of Damascus.
•
Egypt’s
fascist Military Coup was financed and supported to overcome the people’s real
democracy in the region as a legitimate outcome of January 25, 2011 revolution.
It takes five
years searching within six million internal CIA documents with a cost more than
forty million dollars to tell us they did it, or they are doing it for 13 years
or maybe longer. So how much and how
long we will wait until we see all these perpetrators facing justice, unless
this happens and until it happens we will remain unsafe, all of us, unsafe
under this dirty secret game run by sick people.
