You can also find this report on the Course Home Announcements Page and in the Webliography. Following six pages of introduction in this United States Senate report on torture by the CIA, you’ll find the Executive Summary. It runs from Page 2 on. There are twenty findings and conclusions, all in dark print.
Comment on any two of these findings, 100 words for each finding. Remember — this is a course on counter-terrorism.
