long and complex article, but basically we now have confirmation that there were actually two separate programs of torture run by two different cia departments, rather than a monolithic program. the first, run by the cia’s counterterrorism center, was a loose array of black sites around the world for interrogating the tens of thousands of prisoners taken under the auspices of the war on terror, which was poorly documented and produced deaths like that of gul rahman at the salt pit in afghanistan. the second was the more famous “rendition group”, run by the cia’s office of technical services and office of medical services, of MKULTRA fame. this was initially to compartmentalize the interrogation of high level al qaeda operatives from the more ground level work interrogating those associated with active combat in nations like iraq, somalia, and afghanistan, but quickly became a program of human medical experimentation in the hopes of producing the perfect torture system. it was hoped that co-operation with the federal bureau of prisons would insulate the cia from any criminal charges over conduct, given that human experimentation of this kind is technically illegal. both programs shared many personnel, especially at the higher levels, but were still separate.
