Washington, December 22 (RHC)-- Reports say that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has been using about thirty countries to help with its interrogation program. According to political commentator Anna O'Leary, the CIA hired two psychologists, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, to design interrogation and detention protocols to be used in what they called black sites.

O'Leary said that a number of European governments have been used as part of this CIA interrogation system that they have set up either transiting people through them, flying weapons through them or having back black sites in the countries.

"The governments in our countries are colluding with the CIA facilitating them by either allowing them to transit through the airports or by allowing them to have black sites," she noted.

On December 9th, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a summary of its voluminous report on the CIA's torture program during the George W. Bush administration that continued until April 2006.

According to the Senate report, the CIA misled Congress and the White House about the harsh methods such as waterboarding, sleep deprivation, mock executions and threats that the relatives of the prisoners would be sexually abused.
