>> one says, the seatbelt sign is on. she was on a flight and the guy put down the tray and propped his feet up next to her head. how about the burn that lays they're head on your shoulder? have a fantastic day. here's shep. >> for a nation that has stood for freedom, democracy and dignity for all, the actions are unthinkable. americans threatening the relatives of terror detainees. americans convincing prisoners feed detainees rectally. looking up suspects in small boxes. suspects, not nip convicted of anything. suspects. and keeping him awake for up to a solid week. it is torture by every definition known to man. and now a senate report finds it stopped no attacks. it saved no lives. there is, of course, disagreement on that point.
12:01 pm
and there is context to consider. this began in the nation's fright expand furious after the attacks of 9/11 with americans terrified over what might come next. today what this report contains, what lawmakers just released it. reaction from both the obama and bush administrations, and the concerns this could lead to new attacks. let's get to it. it doesn't get much more serious than this. thousands of u.s. marines around the world are on high alert after senate democrats released a report on cia interrogation tactics, involving torture after 9/11. the details are extremely graphic. the report finds that conditions for detainees at top secret interrogation cite were happenner than the cia admitted there is worldwide controversy and debate over the report's fining and we'll get into all of
12:02 pm
it. first, the back story. then president bush authorized the interrogation program six days after the attacks of 9/11. and sunday, ahead of the report residents release, he defended the intelligence community. president bush pointed out the aftermath of 9/11 was a very difficult time in our country's history and difficult choices needed to be made, and they were. president obama today agreed and in a statement reminds us no nation is perfect. now the report's graphic details. the report described high-value detainees subjected to practices including waterboarding and sleep deprivation, quote, in near nonstop fashion for days or weeks at a time. the report indicates sleep def privilege vacation involvedoc keeping detainees awake for up to 1le 80 hours, u.s.ly standing or painful stress positions, hands shackled above their headed. america did this in one facility a detainee was said to have tied of hypothermia after being held
12:03 pm
partially nude and chains to a concrete floor there are also references to the use of tubes to administer rectal rehydration and feeding. cia documents describe a case in which a prisoner's lunch tray consists of hum miss, pasta and nuts, were pureed and rectally infused. america did that. the report detailed the detention of al qaeda operative sue bade da, a social guy. he was osama bin laden's senior lieutenant. managed a network of terror training camps. a huge guest for the cia. according to this report, after he was transferred to a site in tieland he was placeed in isolation for 47 days. then the cia launched around the clock interrogation, slamming him into a wall, stuffing him into a coffin side box, and water boarding him until he
12:04 pm
had -- that continued for 17 days. at one point the waterboarding left him, quote, completely unresponsive with bubbles rising through his open full mouth, unquote. the scene was dramatic, according to crowe memos. some employees who were there were distraught and concerned about the legality of what they had just witnessed. according to these newly released memos other cia employees at this secret site broke down emotionally, crying after witnessing the treatment. the report concludes these tactics did not work. none of them. the head of the senate intelligence committee, dianne feinstein, released at the report under heavy criticism. inard a ford senator feinstein does not, whichikize the actions as torture but by definition they were. instead she writes the trauma of september 11th prompted the agency to employ brutal interrogation techniques in violation of united states law.
12:05 pm
today on capitol hill the senator said under any common meaning of the term cia detainees were tortured and she said the hopes that the report serves as a warning for the future. >> there are those who will seize upon the reports' say, see and they will try to use it to justify evil actions or incite more violence. we can't prevent that. but history will judge us by our commitment to a just society, governed by law, and the willingness to face an ugly truth, and say, never again. >> never again. dianne feinstein. the next person to speak after senator feinstein was a republican senator john mccain of arizona. the former presidential candidate is known to be a tough defender of homeland security, one of the toughest in this nation. he is a tough defender of our military and an extreme defender of our intelligence community, but today, senator john mccain welcomed the release of this report and thanked the democrats
12:06 pm
on the intelligence committee for their work. senator mccain obviously has first hand knowledge of the effects of torture because his study of practices that i believe not only failed their purpose to secure actionable intelligence to prevent further attacks on the u.s. and our allies, but actually damaged our security interests as well as our reputation as a force of good in the world. >> i believe the american people have a right, indeed responsibility, to know what was done in their name. >> senator john mccain. president obama stopped the torture of detainees after he was elected and earlier today the president put out a statement. for the next few minutes i'm going to read it to you in its entirety. throughout our history the united states of america has done more than any other nation to stand up for freedom, democracy, and the inherit
12:07 pm
dignity of human rights of people around the world, the president writes. as americans we owe a profound debt of gratitude to fellow citizens who served to keep us safe. among them the dedicated men and women among our intelligence community, including the cia. since the attacks of 9/11 these public servants have worked tirelessly to devastate al qaeda, deliver justice to bin laden, and the wart terrorist attacks. solemn rows of stars on the memorial wall at the cia horn those who have given their lives to protect ours. our intelligence professionals are patriots and we're saver because of their heroic service and sacrifice in the years after 9/11, with legitimate fears of further attacks and with a responsibility to prevent more catastrophic loss of life, the previous administration faced agonizing choices about how to pursue al qaeda and prevent additional terrorist attacks against our country.
12:08 pm
the president writes, as i've said before our nation did many things right in those difficult years. at the same time, some of the actions that were taken were contrary to our values. that is why i unequivocally ban editor tour when i took office because one of our most effective tools in fighting terrorism and keeping americans safe is staying true to our ideals at home and abroad. today's report the president writes by the senate select committee on intelligence details one element of our nation's response to 9/11. the cia's detention and interrogation program which i formally ended on one of my first days in office. the report documents a troubling program involving so-called enhanced interrogation tech anythings on terrorism suspects in secret facilities outside the united states and it reinforceses my long-held view that these harsh methods were not only inconsistent with our values as a nation, they did not serve our broader
12:09 pm
counterterrorism effort or our national security interests. moreover, the president writes, these techniques did significant damage to america's standing in the world, and made it harder to pursue our interests with allies and partners. that is why i'll continue to use my authority as president to make sure we never resort to those methods again. as commander-in-chief, he writes, i have no greater responsibility than the safety and security of the american people. we will therefore continue to be relentless in our fight against al quirked its affiliates and other violent extremists. we will rely on all elements of our national power, including the power and example of our founding ideals. that is why, he says, i have consistently supported the declassification of today's report. no nation is perfect. but one of the strengths that makes america exceptional is our willingness to openly confront our past, face our imperfections, and make changes and do better, rare than another
12:10 pm
reason to refight old arguments i hope the report will help us leave these techniques where they belong in the past. today is also a reminder that upholding the values we professor does not make us weaker. it makes us stronger and that the united states of america will remain the greatest force for freedom and human dignity that the world has ever known. that is the back story. and now team fox coverage. greg pelkot in london, ed henry at the white house. let's begin withcrat rein her around in washington. what are we are hearing about osama bin laden's compound? >> the cia and democrat-led senate investigators disagree over who provided the initial leads to the cure your who led them to osama bin laden's hideout in pakistan in 2011. the cia says it was this man, a nephew of 9/11 mast fer mind sheikh muhammad who first identified the cure courier.
12:11 pm
>> information we got from detainees, including detainees who had undergone enhanced interrogation, contributed to the wealth of knowledge that we needed to have in order to find al kuwaiti, his true identity, and that led to us pages. >> today the cia director john brennan issued a statement that reads in part, while we made mistakes the record does not support the inference that the agency intentionally mislead each of these audiences -- a reference to congress, the administration and the american public -- on the effectiveness of the program. shep? >> well know they reviewed six million documents. much has been made by those who for various reasons did not want this report to come out. about the fact that the questioning of cia officials was maybe not as widespread as some wanted. >> well, no cia witnesses in fact were ever interviewed for
12:12 pm
this report. we learned the justice depth under attorney general eric holder would not coordinate wit( committee, citing its own criminal investigation, which never resulted in any charges, and today dianne feinstein said even without these interviews, she believes the paper trail was extremely damaging. >> now, these documents are important because they aren't based on recollections. they aren't based on revision. and they aren't a rationalization a decade later. it's these documents, referenced in thousand of footnotes, that provides the factual basis for the study's conclusions. >> in her hour-long speech on the senate floor, senator feinstein made a very important qualifying statement. she said they found that it was a small group of individuals between 40 and 50 cia personnel, including contractors who they believe were responsible for the program, adding this report was never meant to be an indictment
12:13 pm
of the entire agency. >> catherine, thank you. so there's a lot to come. a lot to go through here and we're going to take our time and do it today. we'll be getting to ed henry at the white house in just a minute for both sides of the argument on releasing this thing or not, and go to judge andrew napolitano, who says there are war criminals now on the american government payroll. so what do you do about senate if our country terrorized, if our country tortured, and we have war criminals, what do we do? that's coming. ♪soft holiday music ]♪

12:16 pm
more reaction to the release of the cia torture report. read you the president's statement. ed henry is at the white house. what else are we hearing? >> as you lay out the statement you see a president and administration, quite frankly, attorney about what to do with this report. it's being released by the senate intelligence commit year, but on one hand the president was saying, look, president bush had agonizing choices to make after 9/11. he can understand why some of these techniques were used. on the other hand, they went too far, and the president believes they did not deliver actionable intelligence to prevent attacks. meanwhile, the president had the secretary of state reach out to for feinstein, urge her to be
12:17 pm
careful about the timing of thes release. and vice-president biden said something different. he said in the interests of transparency it was time to put it out. listen. >> i think it's a badge of honor -- think about this. name me another country that prepared to stand up and say, this was a mistake. we shouldn't have done what we've done, and we will not do it again. >> the president's open cia director, john brennan, put out a statement of his own saying he believes in fact this interrogation program saved lives. nowor,'d expect him to say that. he is standing up for his fellow officials at the cia but that runs counter to what house officials are saying, they don't believe the program actually made the nation more safe. site a real separate. >> republicans are taking issue with the timing of this. >> that's right. you're hearing republican lawmakers who did not sign on to
12:18 pm
this report. the rub0s then senate intelligence committee, now saying with the threat from isis and al qaeda, the last thing you want to do is add this to the mix. anger more terrorists around the world, here's mitch mcconnell. >> this particular release in my judgment, serves no purpose whatsoever other than to endanger americans around the world as a time of growing concern about the rise of terrorism. the president seemed to declare the war on terror over a while back. terrorists obviously didn't get the message. >> but the president, and senate democrats got cover from an unlikely source. republican senator john mccain saying today he believes, this may anger terrorist but they're already angry at us. they're already trying to attack us, and mccain says he doesn't believe this is going to be some evidence showing that it's going to cause a terror attack, shep. >> ed henry at the white house,

12:22 pm
continuing coverage the cia torture report out today. judge andrew napolitano is a fox news senior judicial analyst. what do you make of this? >> it's a very, very serious and profound indictment of the government's torture in the bush administration. it is the most compelling, detailed documented report of government intentional infliction of pain on noncombatants produced in american hoyt since the time of the civil war. we never saw anything like tis after world war i, world war ii, after korea or vietnam, and it was produced after five years of
12:23 pm
painstaking examination by investigators for the senate intelligence committee whose computers were hacked by cia agents, who tried to interfere with the examination of them by their own regulatory agency. the federal crime not prosecuted. >> can it be prosecuted. >> yes; of course it should be. there are many, many crimes in here that should be prosecuted. as uplifting as the president's statement was, that you just kindly and generously read 100% of, i didn't hear what should have been in there, and the justice department will investigate who should be prosecuted for what. >> sound bite number five, please, dianne feinstein talking about an instance. play it. >> cia detainees at one facility described at a dungeon were kept in complete darkness, constantly shackled in isolated cells, with loud noise and music, and only a bucket to use for human waste.
12:24 pm
>> only a bucket for human waste. sound bite number four from dianne feinstein and another finding. >> in the cobalt facility i mentioned, interrogators and guards used what they called rough takedowns are in which detainee was grabbed from his cell, clothe cut off, hooded and dragged up and down a dirt hall we're while being slapped and punched. the cia led several detainees to believe they would never be allowed to leave cia custody alive. suggesting zebadaya that he would only leave in a coffin-shaped box. >> now, the cia agents who actually did this stuff will argue that they were authorized by their superiors to do it. senator feinstein says their superiors misled us. we never authorized behavior that degrading and that unlawful.
12:25 pm
cia leadership will say, we saved lives by doing this. this is the killer in this report. because the conclusion of this report is that none of it worked. the most politically potent weapon that the torture lobby has was, kept it safe. the report reflects and refutes that. >> to the torture lobby. >> yes. >> not a matter of opinion there was a torture lobby. >> be hearing from them all afternoon and tonight. this argument -- this report quotes cia agents who were there who demonstrated and who testified that it did not work, that it did not produce any actionable intelligence. intelligence that was of any meaning or help to the intelligence community. >> it was quite something to hear and to think about after sound bite number three, dianne feinstein. >> in contrast to cia representations, detainees were summed to the most aggressive techniques immediately, stripped naked, diapered, physically
12:26 pm
struck, and put in various painful stress positions for long periods of time. they were deprived of sleep for days. in one case up to 180 hours. that's seven and a half days, over a week with no sleep. usually standing or in stress positions. at times, with their hands tied together over their heads, chained to the ceiling. >> today there seems to be an argument whether this was okay at the time. >> well, there's no argument now that it's not okay. and senator feinstein, who is one of the regulators of the cia, i obliged to regulate them in secret. that secrecy depends upon trust, that the cia will truthfully tell her what is going on and she and her committee will authorize it. what has set her off is her profound conclusion that she was lied to by senior cia people,
12:27 pm
who misled her about the number of times this stuff was done, the nature and extent of it, exactly what it was, and whether or not it worked, and it was the destruction of tape recordings, of videotapings of these torture sessions, that caused her to commence this investigation. then in the middle of the investigation, her investigators are saying, somebody is hacking into us. then they find out the cia is hacking into them. and then the cia denies it. and she goes to the senate floor and reveals evidence that the cia was doing the hacking and then they eventually admit it. so cia hack, federal crime. torture? federal crime. lying to senate committee? federal crime. doesn't look like anybody is going to be prosecuted. >> sound bite number seven, john mccain. play it. >> the truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. its sometimes causes us difficulties at home and abroad. it is sometimes used by our
12:28 pm
enemies in attempts to hurt us. but the american people are entitled to it. >> sound bite number eight, john mccain. >> they must know that the values that define our nation are intentionally disregarded by our security policies, even those policies that are conducted in secret. they must be able to make informed judgments about whether those policies and the personnel who supported them were justified in compromising our values. whether they served a greater good or whether, as i believe, they stained our national honor, did much harm and. practical good. >> that was the finding of the report. >> the fining of the report. the first escape is the conscious of the republican party basically bucking almost all of his republican colleagues in the senate to make that very courageous and utterly eloquent
12:29 pm
defense of the inalienable of our human rights, even evil people's human rights, judge, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> the senate report has u.s. forces and diplomats on high alert, as judge napolitano points out, torture exposed our own people to retaliation, like the beheadings from the islamic stays. defense secretary -- i did not connect those-1/2 they said. they'll use any excuse on earth, always have and always will, and the discussion they might use this as an excuse to do something ills is not say it went have happened anyway. chuck hagel is in dab where the iraqi prime minister is asking for more weapons and other help from the united states. in our new war against isis, the al qaeda offshoot. live team fox coverage continues as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. my name is michael. i'm 55 years old and i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain was terrible.

continuing coverage the report on the cia's torture activity after 9/11, and u.s. embassies and military forces overseas are on high alert we're told this afternoon. pentagon officials have warned that the report could trigger a backlash and spark unrest in some countries. the defense secretary chuck hagel says there are no specific security threats but says, quote, we want to be prepared just in case. the united states has more than 270 embassies and other diplomatic posts around the world. they are the workplaces for nearly 14,000 state department staffers. greg pelkot reporting from london tonight. greg? >> we have been watching very closely and so far we haven't seen a substantive reaction on the streets to the report. it is out. recently. it is late in the middle east where we could expect to see the biggest response, but the u.s. is taking no chances at all. we spoke to officials at the u.s. embassy in london. they tell us, like other american embassies, the state department asked them to review
12:36 pm
their security posture to make sure personnel and infrastructure is ready. officials in berlin getting the same message. even throe there was cia interrogation activity in europe, the fear of backlash in the middle east. we talked to officials in the u.s. embassy in cairo, egypt. he says they're taking is day boys day and as for the u.s. military around the world, they're on high alert. they're involved in force protection as well as getting ready for any fast deployment elsewhere. some 6,000 marines are based in europe and the middle east in what are called contingency response forces. the sorries of the unit that went or were supposed to go to benghazi when that consulate was under attack. finally, shep, we were able to reach one of our contacts in yemen, and he made a point similar to the point that senator mccain made today when he said that it was okay to release the report because the
12:37 pm
muslims would use other reasons to protest. he said we're not angry about the report. we're angry about some more recent u.s. drone attacks. so, officials here will be watching very closely to the coming days and see what happens. >> greg palkot in london, thank you. >> the release of the senate intelligence report comes at a difficult time in america's conflict with al qaeda and it's offshoot. today the islamic state beheaded a man in northern syria as after accusing him of blasphemy. militants killed the man in a public square in front of a crowd that included children. the islamic state has beheaded three americans in recent months and seed control of territory across sierra and iraq, and in iraq today, the prime minister there asked for more weapons, and air power from the united states to help defeat the islamic state militants. he spoke to our defense secretary, chuck hagel, who is in baghdad today. no word on how secretary hagel responded to iraq's request, but he did say it's up to the iraqis
12:38 pm
to lead the fight. officials in lebanon say the ex-wife of the islamic stayed leader al-baghdadi is formally under arrest on suspicion of terrorism crimes. last week, lebanese officials said dna tests confirmed a child captured along with the woman is the daughter of the islamic state leader. but iraqi officials have denied that lebanon managed to capture his ex-wife and daughter. jennifer griffin has the latest on this. secretary kerry getting grilled on the hill by members of his party. what do they want? >> democratic senator robert menendez, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee, came out swinging. he is frustrated with the white house for not coming clean about whether they intend to send ground troops to iraq and syrian he is proposing a three-year authorization for the use of military force, an aums. carry asked that it not be geographically constrained. >> to the extent that isil poses a threat to american interests and personnel in other
12:39 pm
countries, we would not want an aumf that constrained our able to use appropriate force against isil in those locations if necessary. in our view, it would be a mistake to advertise to isil that there are safe havens for them outside of iraq or syria. >> democrats on the committee want a new uaumf to bar u.s. ground troops. >> i mentioned the secretary of defense in baghdad. what is his message for the baghdad leader. >> the iraqis greated hagel with a request for more air power and heavy weapons. hagel was noncommittal, we're told. this is his first trip to baghdad since the war with isis began. in fact it's the first time any defense secretary has been to baghdad since the iraq war officially enned december 2011. it is likely hagel's last trip overseas as defense secretary. >> they have to lead. they're the ones that have to be
12:40 pm
responsible for the end results. we can help, we can train, we can assist and advise, and we are doing that and will support them. >> hagel was addressing u.s. and australian troops at the baghdad airport. u.s. defense officials say that what iraq needs to fight isis is not more weapons but competent military leaders. >> after the release of this torture report from the senate, what are they saying around the pentagon about that? >> well, there's a great deal of frustration in the intelligence and community and also among military commanders. in the intel undergenerals community they feel the contes of when these decisions to use these methods, these enhanced interrogation methods, torture, as diane fine fine is kaling it, the context was in the wake of 9/11 there was a serious belief in the intelligence and community there was a follow-on strike and members of congress were calling for the intel community, which they were blaming for an intelligence failure, to prevent another attack, and they said they did some of these things which they
12:41 pm
no longer do, under duress, and that they had -- that the clock was ticking, and the great frustration is that they feel that this report makes it look as though all of the intelligence leads that the cia claims to have gotten from these interrogations -- that it is like in saying they didn't lead to any -- breaking up any plots, is like looking at jigsaw puzzle when you have the picture and you have the pieces. they said they were looking at a jigsaw puzzle and had one piece to work with and that's how they have been working since 9/11. so they feel that the context -- that this is taken out of context, and that their point of view is not reflected in the report, and also they worry that years from now, when those operators, cia operators who are conducting drone strikes, actually killing people -- not torturing people but killing people -- that the law may change, the mood in the country may change and they will be prosecuted at some point down the road.
