Russia has called on the United States to punish those responsible for the use of “inquisition-style” interrogation methods in the “global war on terror”, as revealed in the US Senate report on torture this week.
Konstantin Dolgov, the human rights ombudsman of Russia’s foreign ministry, said the results of the “shocking” report were “the latest confirmation of gross, systemic human rights violations by the American authorities”. ....
The Senate report showed that “prisoners in secret torture chambers were subjected to inhuman, humiliating treatment” including waterboarding, sleep deprivation and threats against suspects’ families in order to “beat confessions out of often innocent people”, said Mr Dolgov.
“Despite the fact that such ‘inquisition-style’ tortures were used by CIA agents outside the territory of the United States, that does not remove responsibility for their deliberate actions,” he added. “There is also the question of complicity in these crimes by the governments of those countries - whose names were deleted from the report - which agreed to locate secret prisons on their territory.”
Mr Dolgov said that “the vast and most substantial part of the [torture] report - more than 6,700 pages” remained secret and the American authorities do not wish to publish it. “We call on the international human rights community and the relevant international organisations and structures to secure from Washington a disclosure of the whole spectrum of legal violations committed within the framework of the ‘global war on terror’, and the prosecution of those responsible.”
The ombudsman said the “dark page in history” that the torture represented was not closed because inmates were still being held without charge at Guantanamo. The situation, he added, “does not square with the United States’ pretensions to be a model democracy. That is far from the reality.”

Pot calling Kettle....come in, Kettle....
Was this “announcement” delivered from their offices in the gulag?
Russia You So Funny
Any average dentist causes more real pain.
This treason by the DNC against the CIA is nonsense.
When will Obama surrender and let United Nations forces take control ?
Moscow doesn’t believe in tears, or pain.
Mr. Dolgov, you first.
This is so rich, with all of the adjectives in the dictionary that mean absurd. Read “The Gulag Archipelago”, three volumes of Russia’s idea of prison and interrogation.
Nobody expects an inquisition style interrogation!

Please add Patrick Leahy to your list.
His leaks cost at least one man his life, if not more, in the 1970s.
And the SOB is STILL in the Senate.
PROJECTION!!!!!
Our “inquisition-style” is closer to Gangnam Style than it is to the ol’ NKVD “Conveyor Belt” technique.
The most absurd thing I've ever seen. "Russia" and "human rights" in the same sentence. Somebody has been doing way too many "recreational" drugs.
The most depraved demons of the world love to pose as arbiters of morality. Not only do they always claim to be your superiors in matters of ethics, but often take it a step further and say you are actually an irrevocably evil person, not just someone who has fallen a little short of the ideal, by which the demon means himself. Democrats are famous for this. But they learned it from Russians.
But that is exactly Obama’s goal - to have a one-world government run by the UN. That’s why he’s doing all he can to destroy the United States.
