Headliner: Ex-CIA director Michael Hayden on torture and drones - UpFront
Where does the US draw the line on what some consider torture?
When the executive summary of a 6,700-page US Senate Intelligence report on CIA interrogation techniques was released last year, many in the US and around the world expressed outrage.
The 500-page summary highlighted how CIA interrogation practices under the George W. Bush administration were “brutal and far worse than the CIA represented to policymakers and others”. Now, as federal judges decide whether to declassify the full report, did the CIA break the law in terms of torture?
In this week’s Headliner, Mehdi Hasan speaks to General Michael Hayden, former CIA director and author of Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror. Hayden discusses the CIA’s use of “aggressive” interrogation methods and defends the US drone programme.

Actually Michael Hayden is one of the most publicly accessibly former intelligence agents there is with the credentials he has. I think he's the only person to have ran as head of both the CIA and NSA
This American Citizen who lives on American Soil Says : YES Inhumane Torture of Any Kind by Any Perpetrator is A Crime - Period and YES those Persons Who Commit Such Crimes Against Other Human Beings SHOULD be Held Accountable. *We, The American People, in General DO NOT Agree with our Military/Government or Security Forces definitions of what they consider "appropriate" - we would AND do - consider those atrocities - torture/crimes - way before they define them as such*.

Those who commit crime are bad but those who tolerate the crime are worse.The American government and their military get their budget from the taxpayers of American citizens and the Government is elected by the American citizens and Military personnels are also citizens of America.Pax Americana is the biggest problem for peace and stability after Pax Mongolica in the history.

A Patsy indeed and an Evil one at that.
he knows......he is bound by american law and so are the lawyers and doctors that helped them
What makes the rest of the world think the US 'draws any line' on torture? 'Abu Ghraib', anybody ?
i love how he says everything but the truth
I don't believe a thing Hayden says.

God, I wish Trump and his surrogates had faced drilling like this. This is superb.
That's lovely! If we do, it's nice. If you do, it doesn't. So much hypocrisy for just one person. hehehehehe
