| Rectal feeding’ CIA operatives subjected at least five detainees to what they called “rectal rehydration and feeding”. One CIA cable released in the report reveals that detainee Majid Khan was administered by enema his “‘lunch tray’ consisting of hummus, pasta with sauce, nuts and raisins was ‘pureed and rectally infused’”. One CIA officer’s email was in the report quoted as saying “we used the largest Ewal [sic] tube we had”. Rectal feeding is of limited application in actually keeping a person alive or administering nutrients, since the colon and rectum cannot absorb much besides salt, glucose and a few minerals and vitamins. The CIA administered rectal rehydration to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed “without a determination of medical need” and justified “rectal fluid resuscitation” of Abu Zubaydah because he “partially refus[ed] liquids”. Al-Nashiri was given an enema after a brief hunger strike. Risks of rectal feeding and rehydration include damage to the rectum and colon, triggering bowels to empty, food rotting inside the recipient’s digestive tract, and an inflamed or prolapsed rectum from carless insertion of the feeding tube. The report found that CIA leadership was notified that rectal exams may have been conducted with “Excessive force”, and that one of the detainees, Mustafa al-Hawsawi, suffered from an anal fissure, chronic hemorrhoids and symptomatic rectal prolapse. The CIA’s chief of interrogations characterized rectal rehydration as a method of “total control” over detainees, and an unnamed person said the procedure helped to “clear a person’s head”.Frozen to death Facebook[url=https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Rectal rehydration and broken limbs%3A the grisliest findings in the CIA torture report&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fus-news%2F2014%2Fdec%2F09%2Fcia-torture-report-worst-findings-waterboard-rectal%3FCMP%3Dshare_btn_tw%26page%3Dwith%3Aimg-1%23img-1]Twitter[/url][url=http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?description=Rectal rehydration and broken limbs%3A the grisliest findings in the CIA torture report&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fus-news%2F2014%2Fdec%2F09%2Fcia-torture-report-worst-findings-waterboard-rectal%3Fpage%3Dwith%3Aimg-1%23img-1&media=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.guim.co.uk%2Fsys-images%2FGuardian%2FPix%2Fpictures%2F2014%2F12%2F9%2F1418157594581%2F60e4d658-f0ff-4f76-8c32-2b81bc6da02c-1020x612.jpeg]Pinterest[/url] Gul Rahman died in the early hours of 20 November 2002, after being shackled to a cold concrete wall in a secret CIA prison. Photograph: APAt COBALT, the CIA interrogated in 2002 Gul Rahman, described as a suspected Islamic extremist. He was subjected to “48 hours of sleep deprivation, auditory overload, total darkness, isolation, a cold shower and rough treatment”.CIA headquarters suggested “enhanced measures” might be needed to get him to comply. A CIA officer at COBALT ordered Rahman be “shackled to the wall of his cell in a position that required the detainee to rest on the bare concrete floor”.He was only wearing a sweatshirt as a CIA officer has ordered his clothes to be removed earlier after judging him to be uncooperative during an interrogation.The next day, guards found Rahman dead. An internal CIA review and autopsy assessed he likely died from hypothermia – “in part from having been forced to sit on the bare concrete floor without pants”. An initial CIA review and cable sent to CIA headquarters after his death included a number of misstatements and omissions. | |
