Embassies in Afghanistan and Thailand also issued similar warnings, and all three countries have received notices which said, “the release of declassified versions of the executive summary, findings, and conclusions of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's study on the CIA's rendition, detention and interrogation program could prompt anti-US protests and violence against US interests, including private US citizens.”
Interestingly, prisoners were interrogated in both Afghanistan and Thailand which were hosts to two secret facilities.
The report is the most extensive detailing of the CIA’s brutal interrogation of al Qaeda suspects yet.
Senate Intelligence Committee chair Senator Dianne Feinstein said at least 119 individuals were subjected to “coercive interrogation techniques, in some cases amounting to torture.”
The detainees were rounded up by US operatives beginning in 2001 after al Qaeda destroyed the World Trade Center in New York and damaged the Pentagon and through to 2009.
They were interrogated either at CIA-run secret prisons in allied nations or at the US detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Looks like they have watched the new episode of Homeland.....
It is heartening to see the American establishment is looking inwardly and accepting the wrongs it has done. It would, hopefully, prevent recurrence of such injustices as enumerated in Senator Feinstein Report.
Maybe you are getting what you gave out to other nations when you invaded them to spread your religion. Nothing will change Abrahams children are at war with each other as usual.
Then leave Pakistan and mind your own business and never interfere in Pakistan's internal and personal matters.....
The Bush era (Rumsfeld, Chenney, and on the international front, allies Blair, Aznar), their decisions in Iraq and especially transport across the globe of suspects, to take advantage of those nations that thought nothing of torture - a big black mark against democratic thoughts and institutions. You can not fight terrorism with thuggery methods, the report so proves. Having said the same, such reports should not come to light, why stir past wrongs which only bring more pain, hatred, those without hope turning to radical thought in both west and east. At a time IS is achieving a following from many parts of the world, it makes no sense to publish the above report.
