GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA - OCTOBER 28: (EDITORS NOTE: Image has been reviewed by U.S. Military prior to transmission) An American military guard watches over detainees at the U.S. military prison for 'enemy combatants' on October 28, 2009 in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Although U.S. President Barack Obama pledged in his first executive order last January to close the infamous prison within a year's time, the government has been struggling to try the accused terrorists and to transfer them out ahead of the deadline. Military officials at the prison point to improved living standards and state of the art medical treatment available to detainees, but the facility's international reputation remains tied to the 'enhanced interrogation techniques' such as waterboarding employed under the Bush administration.

La CIA mintió deliberadamente a la Casa Blanca y al Congreso sobre sus prácticas, como detalla el informe dado a conocer este martes por el Senado. Los detenidos fueron privados de luz, sometidos a música atronadora y, con la única compañía de un balde en el que depositar sus heces, retenidos en celdas sin calefacción.
