oGC conrinLlecl to consult ivith DoJ as rhe 44. %Smj CTC Interrogation frogrâm and the trse of EITs expandecl beyoncl the interrogatioñ of Abu Zubaydah. This resulted in ihe producfion of or, ondutud and unsigneddocu:nrent er-rfitled, "Legai Principles Applicable to CIA Dãtention and Inte'rogation of Capture Aî--ea,ida persorur.e1."27 According to OGC, ihis analysisryas 91f coordinated witlr ancl drafted in substantial part by OLC. In adclidort to'reaffirmilg the previous conclusions regardíng the torhrre stafute, ihe analysís ånciúdes that the federal lVar Crimes statute, 18 U.S'C' 2441, does not appty to Al-Qa'ida because members of that grouP aÎ--e not entitled to ptito.t.t of war status. The anllysis adds that "the or [Torh:r'eJ Convention permits lhe use of [cruei, inh'uman, degfacling treaffirentl in exigent circtrmstances/ such as a national u*lutgut^t.y or waf." It also states that the interrogation of Al-Qa'ida tlu*b"rs d.oes not violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendrnents because those provisioru clo not aPPly extrater:rítoria!, nor ctoes it violate the Eighth Amendinent because it only applies to persons upon rvhom.ti*irrut sancLions have been irnpclsed. Filrally, the anatysis states that a wirle range of BITs a¡rcl other techniques rvould not ccxrstituie concluct of the type that woul.d be prohibitecl by tl-re Fifth, Eighth, or Fou¡teerr'ûr.Amencltnents evelÌ lvere they to be applicable: 'Iihe use of the

following techniques and of comparable, approved

the waterboard v,¡as probably nrisrepresented at the time, as the SERË rvaterboa¡cl experience is so differcnt from the snbsequent Agency usage as to make it al¡nost irrelevant. Consequently, according to OM$, there rvâs ao a príori reason to believe thaf appllng the waterboard wiih the frequency ancl intensity'rvith rvhich it'r.r'as usetl by the psVchologist/irrterrogators was either eflicacious or med.ically safe.

Policy Considerations ?27. (U / /FOUO) Throughout its history, the United States has been an i¡rternational proponent of huna:r rights änd has voiced opposition to torfure and mish'eatrrLent of prisoners by foreign counhies. This position is based upon fundamental principles that are deeply embedded in the American iegal sbuctr.re and jurisprudence. The Fifth and FoUrteenthArnendments to the U.S. Conslitution, for example, require due process of law, wlúle the Eighth Amendment bars "ctrlel ¿ind unusual puúslunenb." 228. (V / /FOUO) The President advised the Senate wi"ren submitting the Tortu¡e Conveirtion for ratification thab ihe United States would consfrue the reqtrirernent of Ariicle '16 of the Convention to "tutdertal<e to prevent in any territory under its jurisdi.ction other acts of cruel, inhurnan, or degrading treatment or puníshment which do not amor¡nt to torhrre" as "xoughly equivaleni to".and "coextensive with the Constifirtional guara¡tees against cruel, unusual, ald i¡rhrrmane keatrnent,"8lTo this end,lhe United States sril:mitted a reservation to the Tortule Convention statrng that the United. States considers itself bou¡d by Arficle 16 "only insofar as the terrn'cruel, i¡hnman or degrading heatrnent o¡ purrishment'means the cruel, t-urusual, and i¡rhumane treatment or punishment prohibited by the Sth, Bth and/or L4th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States." Alfhough the Torture Co.nvention expressly provides that no exceptional ci¡cumstances.whatsoevery including war or any other. public emergency, and no order from a superior officer, justifies torfure, no sj¡ri.lar provision was includecl regarding acts of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treai'ment or pr:nishinent."

rhe Agency's cletention,and 250j provided intellìgence that has enabled interrogdtíor, the identification ancl apprehension of other terrorists and warned of terroristplots planned ior the United States and around the world' The CTCDetention and hrterrogation Program has resulted in the issuance of thousands of indiviãualintelligence reports and analytic products supporting the counterterrorisrn efforts of U'S' of !oücymakeis and *itit*y commande's.

Those efforts and the resulting DoJ legal opinion of L August 2002 are well documeutecl, That legal opinion was based, in substantial part, on OTS analysis and the experience and expertise of non-Agency personnel and academics conceming whether long-terrn psychological effects would result from use of the proposed techniques.
