Cables Detail C.I.A. Waterboarding at Secret Prison Run by Gina Haspel
By JULIAN E. BARNES and SCOTT SHANE 2 hrs ago

The “water treatment” was bureaucratic jargon for waterboarding, and 11 newly released top-secret cables from the time that Gina Haspel, now the C.I.A. director, oversaw the base provide at times graphic detail on the techniques the agency used to brutally interrogate Qaeda captives.
