The fact of the matter is all of these things have been widely reported in the press, they are the worst kept secret in the world, this is not like really secret, classified piece of information, that if they said waterboarding is banned all of a sudden al-Qaida will be able to operate and get around US interrogators.  It just sort of defies logic to go down that road, I think they would have done themselves a great favour by at least taking some of the most egregious techniques that they have been accused of engaging in and explicitly prohibiting them.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFILE: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - Date unknown\u003cbr/\u003e9.

Various prisoners\u003cbr/\u003eUS President George W. Bush is breathing new life into the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) terror interrogation programme with an executive order that would allow harsh questioning of suspects, limited in public only by a vaguely worded ban on cruel and inhuman treatment.\u003cbr/\u003eThe order bars some practices such as sexual abuse, part of an effort to quell international criticism of some of the CIA's most sensitive and contested work. It does not say what practices would be allowed.\u003cbr/\u003eThe executive order is the White House's first public effort to reach into the CIA's five-year-old terror detention programme, which has been in limbo since a Supreme Court decision last year called its legal foundation into question.\u003cbr/\u003eHuman rights group Amnesty International on Friday, criticised the executive order for not explicitly mentioning a prohibition on the use of the interrogation techniques causing most concern, such as waterboarding (a simulated drowning technique).\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think that this executive order says a lot more by what it doesn't say than what it does say,\" Jumana Musa, from Amnesty International told AP Television.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The things that they don't address directly are the things that have been wildly talked about, as part of their CIA programme, which are things like waterboarding, (a simulated drowning technique) the cold room technique, which almost induces hypothermia, sleep deprivation, all of these things, are just left out,\" she added.\u003cbr/\u003eOfficials would not provide details on specific interrogation techniques that the CIA may use under the new order.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the past, its methods are believed to have included sleep deprivation and disorientation, exposing prisoners to uncomfortable cold or heat for long periods, stress positions.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bush administration has portrayed the interrogation operation as one of its most successful tools in the war on terror, while opponents have said the agency's techniques have left a black mark on the United States' reputation around the world.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think they would have done themselves a great favour by at least taking some of the most egregious techniques that they have been accused of engaging in and explicitly prohibiting them,\" Musa told AP Television.\u003cbr/\u003eBush's order requires that CIA detainees \"receive the basic necessities of life, including adequate food and water, shelter from the elements, necessary clothing, protection from extremes of heat and cold, and essential medical care.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe order specifically refers to captured al-Qaida suspects who may have information on attack plans or the whereabouts of the group's senior leaders. \u003cbr/\u003eWhite House press secretary Tony Snow said the CIA's program has saved lives and must continue on a sound legal footing.\u003cbr/\u003eThe five-page order reiterated many protections already granted under U.S. and international law. It said that any conditions of confinement and interrogation cannot include: Torture or other acts of violence serious enough to be considered comparable to murder, torture, mutilation or cruel or inhuman treatment.\u003cbr/\u003eWillful or outrageous acts of personal abuse done to humiliate or degrade someone in a way so serious that any reasonable person would \"deem the acts to be beyond the bounds of human decency.\" That includes sexually indecent acts.\u003cbr/\u003eActs intended to denigrate the religion of an individual.\u003cbr/\u003eThe order does not permit detainees to contact family members or have access to the International Committee of the Red Cross.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a decision last year aimed at the military's tribunal system, the Supreme Court required the U.S. government to apply Geneva Convention protections to the conflict with al-Qaida, shaking the legal footing of the CIA's program.\u003cbr/\u003eLast fall, Congress instructed the White House to draft an executive order as part of the Military Commissions Act, which outlined the rules for trying terrorism suspects. \u003cbr/\u003eThe bill barred torture, rape and other war crimes that clearly would have violated the Geneva Conventions, but allowed Bush to determine, through executive order, whether less harsh interrogation methods could be used.\u003cbr/\u003eThe administration and the CIA have maintained that the agency's program has been lawful all along.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a message to CIA employees on Friday, Director Michael Hayden tried to stress the importance and narrow scope of the program. He noted that of the fewer than 100 detainees, fewer than half have experienced the agency's \"enhanced interrogation measures.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFor decades, the United States had two paths for questioning suspects: the US justice system and the military's Army Field Manual.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, after the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration decided more needed to be done. \u003cbr/\u003eSince then, 97 terror suspects are believed to have been held by the agency at locations around the world, often referred to as \"black sites.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe programme sparked international controversy as details slowly emerged, with human rights groups saying the agency's work violated international law, including the Third Geneva Convention's Common Article 3 protections, which set a baseline standard for the treatment of prisoners of war.\u003cbr/\u003eIn September, Bush announced the United States had transferred the last 14 high-value CIA detainees to the military's detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they would stand trial. \u003cbr/\u003eThe CIA has held one detainee since then, an Iraqi who the U.S. considered one of al-Qaida's most senior operatives. He also was transferred eventually to Guantanamo\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
