The California Chapter of The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, urges Americans of conscience to contact Senator Feinstein, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and thank her for her leadership in releasing the report on torture techniques used by the CIA.

While highly redacted, the 600 page executive summary of the full 6,000 page unreleased report reveals many appalling details about the torture methods used by the CIA in interrogations.
The techniques include, among others, water-boarding, rectal feedings, sleep deprivations and threats of violence against loved ones. CAIR hopes that the release of this report will ensure disclosure and transparency of our government’s counterterrorism and undisclosed torture programs.
Please take a moment to send a thank you note to Senator Feinstein for her work in releasing this summary in the face of opposition and urge the release of the full Senate report on CIA torture.
