Defense Deparlmenf, and. ]ustice Deparlment officials, no decisions

on any "endgarne" for Agency detainees have been made. senior
Agency officíals see th.is as a policy issue for the U.S. Government

endgame with policymakers, some detainees who carmot be

39. (u //Fouo) ln accordance with tl're convention, the

United States criminaíized. acts of torture in 18 U.S.C. 23404(a),
wlúcl'r provicles as follows:

whoever outsicle the united states comrnits or attenrpts to comlnit

torhue shall be fined under tlús title or irnprisoned not more than
20 years, or both, anct if cleath results to anyperson irol conduct
pt.,hibitud by this subseclion, shall be punished by death or
irnprisonect ior any term of years or for life'

The statute adopts the Convention definition of "torttue" as "an act

committedby a person acting urder the color of law specifically-
intenclec{ to infhðt sel'ere physical or mental pain or suffering (otl'rer
than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanci-ions) uPon another
purror. withjn his cuJtocty or physical conh-ol."l8 "severe physical
acicled a
þain and suffering" is ¡roifurther clefined, but Congress
ãefinition of "severe mental pain or suffering:"

[T]he prolonged nrental harnr caused by or resulting

from-

(A) the intentional infliction or th¡eatened infliction of severe

physical pain or suffering;

(B) the achnfurishation or application, or tht'eatened

a ct ministra tton or' applica tio¡r, of n'Lin cl'altering sttbs
tanc es or
other procedwes calèulatecl to disrupt profoundly the senses or
the personalily;

(C) the th¡eat of ùnminent deathi or

ÇD) the threat that another person ].ill imminently be subjected

to death, severe ptrysical pain or sufferirrg, or the administration
or application of rninct-aliering substances or other procedures-
calctrlatecl to clisrupt profounclly the senses or pe.sonality. . . .19

T'hese statutory clefi¡ritions ale consistent rvith the ttncl.erstandilgs

and reservations of the United States to the'llc¡rtLrre Conventio¡l.

CTC Interrogation frogrâm and the trse of EITs expandecl beyoncl the
interrogatioñ of Abu Zubaydah. This resulted in ihe producfion of
or, ondutud and unsigneddocu:nrent er-rfitled, "Legai Principles
Applicable to CIA Dãtention and Inte'rogation of Capture
Aî--ea,ida persorur.e1."27 According to OGC, ihis analysisryas 91f
coordinated witlr ancl drafted in substantial part by OLC. In adclidort
to'reaffirmilg the previous conclusions regardíng the torhrre stafute, '

ihe analysís ånciúdes that the federal lVar Crimes statute, 18 U.S'C'
2441, does not appty to Al-Qa'ida because members of that grouP aÎ--e
not entitled to ptito.t.t of war status. The anllysis adds that "the
[Torh:r'eJ Convention permits lhe use of [cruei, inh'uman,
or
degfacling treaffirentl in exigent circtrmstances/ such as a national
u*lutgut^t.y or waf." It also states that the interrogation of Al-Qa'ida
tlu*b"rs d.oes not violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendrnents
because those provisioru clo not aPPly extrater:rítoriaþ, nor ctoes it
violate the Eighth Amendinent because it only applies to persons
upon rvhom.ti*irrut sancLions have been irnpclsed. Filrally, the
anatysis states that a wirle range of BITs a¡rcl other techniques rvould
not ccxrstituie concluct of the type that woul.d be prohibitecl by tl-re
Fifth, Eighth, or Fou¡teerr'ûr.Amencltnents evelÌ lvere they to be
applicable:
'Iihe use of the following techniques and of comparable, approved
techniques cloes nOt violate any Federal statute or other law, s'here
the CIÁ interrogators do uot specifically íntend to cause the
detainee fo urclergo severe physical or mental pain or suffering
(i.e., ihey act with the good faitl'ì.lreltef that their conduct rvill not
cause such pain or suffering): isolation, reduced caloric infake (scl
long as the amount is calculated to maintain the general health of
the cletainees), deprivation of reading material, loud music or lvhite

the waterboard v,¡as probably nrisrepresented at the time, as the SERË rvaterboa¡cl experience is
so differcnt from the snbsequent Agency usage as to make it al¡nost irrelevant. Consequently,
according to OM$, there rvâs ao a príori reason to believe thaf appllng the waterboard wiih the
frequency ancl intensity'rvith rvhich it'r.r'as usetl by the psVchologist/irrterrogators was either
eflicacious or med.ically safe.
