For Tortured Detainees, U.S. Considered Life Sentences on Boats (Bloomberg)

[struggle4progress]

Interview by Zinta Lundborg

... Lundborg: When people made the decision to torture, what did they think was going to happen?

Mayer: People at the CIA said the problem was always the disposal plan. They wanted to get the intelligence but they never considered what to do with these people afterwards. You’ve violated all their rights so it’s really hard to put them on trial. At one point, they even talked about putting them all on boats that would perpetually circumnavigate the globe ...
