The full 157 page report,“Delivered into Enemy Hands: US-Led Abuse and Rendition of Opponents to Gaddafi’s Libya,”is here.

Not only did the US deliver Gaddafi his enemies on a silver platter but it seems the CIA tortured many of them first,” said Laura Pitter, counterterrorism advisor at Human Rights Watch and author of the report. “The scope of Bush administration abuse appears far broader than previously acknowledged and underscores the importance of opening up a full-scale inquiry into what happened.”

Some of the documents included in the report were found in September, 2011, after Tripoli fell to rebel forces, in the offices of former Libyan intelligence chief Musa Kusa. There are also first-hand reports by those tortured.

The report also describes serious abuses that five of the former LIFG members said they experienced at two US-run detention facilities in Afghanistan, most likely operated by the CIA. They include new allegations of waterboarding and other water torture. The details are consistent with the few other first-hand accounts about the same US-run facilities.

Other abuses reported by these former detainees include being chained to walls naked –sometimes while diapered – in pitch black, windowless cells, for weeks or months; restrained in painful stress positions for long periods, forced into cramped spaces; beaten and slammed into walls; kept indoors for nearly five months without the ability to bathe; and denied sleep by continuous, very loud Western music.

“I spent three months getting interrogated heavily during the first period and they gave me a different type of torture every day. Sometimes they used water, sometimes not.… Sometimes they stripped me naked and sometimes they left me clothed,” said Khalid al-Sharif, who asserted he was held for two years in two different US-run detention centers believed to be operated by the CIA in Afghanistan. Al-Sharif is now head of the Libyan National Guard. One of his responsibilities is providing security for facilities holding Libya’s high-value detainees.

The CIA, according to the Reuters link above, defends its actions:

"It can't come as a surprise that the Central Intelligence Agency works with foreign governments to help protect our country from terrorism and other deadly threats. That is exactly what we are expected to do," said Jennifer Youngblood, a CIA spokeswoman.

George W. Bush, his former CIA director Michael Hayden claimed only three people were waterboarded after 911 -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and Abdul Rahim al-Nashiri --and none were Libyans.

Whee is Hayden today? He's a Romney advisor on national security.

Hayden is currently a principal at the Chertoff Group, a business consultancy established by former Director of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, also a Romney surrogate.

The New York Times reported after Hayden and Romney disagreed on attacking Iran (with Romney being the more hawkish):

General Hayden said, he advises Mr. Romney on intelligence matters, not on Iran. He is the co-chairman of a working group on counterterrorism and intelligence, along with Michael Chertoff, a former secretary of homeland security who is a partner with General Hayden in a risk management firm.

What Romney had proposed:

Speaking to the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal last month, he said he would consider actions ranging from “something of a blockade nature, to something of a surgical-strike nature, to something of a ‘decapitate the regime’ nature to eliminate the military threat of Iran altogether.”

In South Carolina Romney said:

.... “If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon,” Mr. Romney declared in South Carolina in November. “And if we elect Mitt Romney, they will not have a nuclear weapon.”

So Hayden doesn't want to attack Iran, but he's advising Romney on intelligence matters. How did he advise Bush? (article provides links to sources):

During his tenure in top intelligence posts, Hayden presided over the initiation and expansion of several controversial government programs, including the warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens’ phone calls⁵ and the use of armed drones overseas. Since leaving office, Hayden has insisted that the wiretapping program was “effective, appropriate, and lawful.” A federal judge, however, has since ruled that the program likely violated the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which was enacted by Congress “specifically to rein in and create a judicial check for executive-branch abuses of surveillance authority.”

Here is Mitt Romney's announcement of his foreign policy and national security team of advisors. Hayden and Chertoff head up Counterterrorism and Intelligence.

Romney also has a Human Rights advisor, who was Bush's Ambassador at Large for War Crimes and a Bush advisor in the War on Terror after 9/11. He ran for California Attorney in 2006.

Pierre Prosper has directly advised President George W. Bush as well as Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and General Colin Powell. Prosper informed U. S. policy responses during the earliest stages of the War on Terror.

More on Prosper:

Reported directly to U.S. Secretaries of State Powell and Rice; advised the President of the United States, Attorney General, Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Director of Central Intelligence, White House Counsel, and other senior U.S. officials.
