設置一個關鍵參議院小組委員會今天聽取證詞在布什政府的酷刑政策。 聽力，將由參議院司法委員會的小組委員會舉行在行政失察和法院，以證詞為特色從前聯邦調查局特工阿里Soufan，并且前布什政府國務院正式菲利普Zelikow，他們倆講了對布什政府審訊政策的嚴重的問題。 它是具體地集中於酷刑的第一個國會聽證會，因為美國公民自由聯合獲得了概述布什政府的法律體系為它的酷刑政策的法律顧問(OLC)司法部的辦公室生產的四個備忘錄。

「酷刑是罪行，并且我們可以不再假裝那裡是這些罪被犯的所有疑義」，主任說Caroline Fredrickson， ACLU華盛頓立法辦公室的。 「在賓夕法尼亞大道發源的酷刑政策和由最高級的政府官員簽名。 我們知道那為太長期不拿著任何高級官員有責任。 檢察長持有人必須任命一位獨立檢察官，因此我們的國家可能移動朝恢復法規」。

Zelikow，也執行董事9/11委員會，在反對法律推理在OLC酷刑備忘錄之後的2005年寫一個備忘錄，當在國務院時。 在備忘錄被散布了之後，白宮收集了并且毀壞了大多拷貝。 ACLU當前有信息行動(FOIA)請求自由即將發生為那個備忘錄。

Soufan是在被拘留者期間Abu Zubaydah審訊是存在從3月到2002年6月的聯邦調查局特工和去年是由假名描述的在一個報告由司法部的總檢查員作為報告觀察審訊戰術與美國是「國界酷刑」和可比較的二個聯邦調查局特工的之一。 對政府的酷刑節目是中央的軍隊生存、躲避、抵抗和逃命(SERE)戰術。

ACLU要求年為一次獨立邢事調查入聯邦政府使用的審訊技術反對美國拿著的被拘留者。 基於通過FOIA訴訟得到的文件帶來由ACLU、幾個國會聽證會和參議院三軍部隊委員會上個月公布的報告，它確切關於對酷刑和惡習的用途的重要決定做出了在白宮裡，在五角大樓和在CIA和司法部的總部。

The Department of Defense has also committed to make public by May 28 a “substantial number” of photos depicting the abuse of prisoners by U.S. personnel. The photos, which are being released in response to the ACLU’s FOIA litigation, include images from prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan at locations other than Abu Ghraib.

“Congress needs to keep asking tough questions on torture,” said Christopher Anders, ACLU Senior Legislative Counsel. “Having the Senate hear from an eyewitness to the start of the government’s torture program and an official who objected to a torture memo is a good step towards accountability. But the only way to make clear that no one is above the law is for Congress to step up its oversight and for attorney general to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate torture crimes.”
