Zero Hedge — Unsealed CIA Memos Provide Shocking ‘Salt Pit’ Black Site Details

Summary:
No wonder the deep state is doing everything possible to keep the details of torture secret. Fortunately, legal discovery has made some of the story available.  Two surviving prisoners and the family of a detainee who died at the Colbalt site reached an out-of-court settlement with the CIA psychologists in August after a lawsuit was brought for their role in the torture. As was hoped, the CIA and Pentagon were forced to declassify the documents related to the case in pretrial discovery. But no prosecutions to date. A further black mark on the reputation of the United States, and a further erosion of US soft power.Zero HedgeUnsealed CIA Memos Provide Shocking 'Salt Pit' Black Site Details Tyler Durden
