The CIA and torture

中情局之用刑

Into the light

公諸于世

A pull-no-punches report is to be released

一份毫不客氣的報(bào)告即將公布

THOSE who do not publish history's mistakes aredoomed to repeat them. That, in essence, is the concern that lies behind plans by the SenateIntelligence Committee, with support from the White House, to declassify and release hundredsof pages from a scathing report into CIA detention, rendition and interrogation methods usedafter the September 11th 2001 attacks, which accuses the agency of misleading Congress andthe White House about the value of intelligence extracted from more than 100 terrorsuspects in a worldwide network of secret “black sites”.

有了白宮的支持，參議院情報(bào)委員會(huì)正計(jì)劃解密并發(fā)布多達(dá)數(shù)百頁(yè)的報(bào)告。這些報(bào)告直指中情局在“911”恐怖襲擊后在執(zhí)行拘留、引渡和審問(wèn)時(shí)的辦事方法。中情局在遍布全世界的秘密“黑色監(jiān)獄”中審判了超過(guò)100名恐怖分子嫌疑人。這份報(bào)告指控中情局夸大了此項(xiàng)行動(dòng)的價(jià)值，對(duì)國(guó)會(huì)和白宮進(jìn)行了誤導(dǎo)。“不愿公布?xì)v史的人只會(huì)不斷重復(fù)自己的所作所為，”而這正是參議院情報(bào)委員會(huì)在公布報(bào)告時(shí)的真實(shí)想法。

The CIA has promised to work “expeditiously” to scrub the nearly 500-page summary ofinformation that could imperil national security. Veterans of the spy agency, backed by manyRepublicans, have challenged the report—prepared by Democratic staffers of the SenateIntelligence Committee and drawing on millions of internal CIA records—as a flawed andpartisan bid to smear the CIA and the administration of George W. Bush.

這份報(bào)告會(huì)危害國(guó)家安全，中情局放出話(huà)來(lái)，要迅速解決這份長(zhǎng)達(dá)500頁(yè)的報(bào)告。 這份報(bào)告是由參議院情報(bào)委員會(huì)中的民主黨籍寫(xiě)手在查閱了數(shù)百萬(wàn)條中情局內(nèi)部資料后撰寫(xiě)的，而共和黨人所支持的退伍老兵和情報(bào)機(jī)構(gòu)對(duì)此發(fā)起了挑戰(zhàn)，他們稱(chēng)這份報(bào)告是對(duì)中情局和布什政府的誹謗中傷，是充滿(mǎn)瑕疵和黨派意味的。

The attorney-general, Eric Holder, said on April 8th that President Barack Obama believes thatbringing the programme “into the light” “will help the American people understand whathappened in the past and can help guide us as we move forward” so that no government wouldcontemplate such actions in the future.

司法部長(zhǎng)埃里克霍爾德在四月八日表示，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)認(rèn)為將一切公諸于世能夠讓美國(guó)人民更好地理解過(guò)去所發(fā)生的事情，對(duì)未來(lái)的行動(dòng)也可以起到指導(dǎo)作用。在未來(lái)的日子里政府不會(huì)阻撓這樣的行動(dòng)。

Officials who have seen the report have briefed reporters that it describes previouslyundisclosed horrors, among them the “Salt Pit”, a site nearKabul, at which one terror suspecthad his head repeatedly held under iced water and was repeatedly beaten. The report examines20 case studies, arguing that, each time, the same intelligence could have been obtainedwithout torture.

看過(guò)這份報(bào)告的官員向記者們簡(jiǎn)單介紹了一些情況。這份報(bào)告描述了一些以前并未解密的驚人內(nèi)幕， 在喀布爾附近有一個(gè)叫做“鹽坑”的地方，中情局的情報(bào)人員在審問(wèn)時(shí)的多次將一位恐怖分子嫌疑人的頭按在冰水里面，并不斷毆打這位嫌犯。經(jīng)過(guò)了對(duì)20個(gè)案件的研究之后，該報(bào)告得出結(jié)論，如果不采取私刑，其實(shí)也是可以獲得同樣的情報(bào)。

The CIA insists that it is impossible to know what milder methods might have achieved, andmay release its own response to the report. The agency is already locked in a remarkablepublic fight with the Democratic chairman of the intelligence committee, Senator DianneFeinstein ofCalifornia, traditionally a doughty defender ofAmerica's spooks. Trust is at such alow ebb that Mrs Feinstein wants the White House to take the lead on editing the public report.On April 6th Michael Hayden, the CIA's director from 2006 to 2009, had suggested that thesenator was taking an “emotional” approach to the report. “An old male fall-back,” retortedMrs Feinstein.

中情局則堅(jiān)稱(chēng)根本不知道想要達(dá)成目的還有什么更加溫和的方法，并表示會(huì)對(duì)這份報(bào)告作出回應(yīng)。中情局和傳統(tǒng)美國(guó)間諜的擁護(hù)者之間的爭(zhēng)斗已然吸引了公眾的目光，這位擁護(hù)者就是情報(bào)委員會(huì)的民主黨籍主席、來(lái)自加利福尼亞州的議員黛安·范士丹。曾在2006到2009年間擔(dān)任中情局主任的邁克爾·海登四月六日表示，該議員是在對(duì)待這份報(bào)告時(shí)非常“情緒化”，而范士丹則反駁道：“”(照片中的女士正是這位不斷抗?fàn)幥?ldquo;不帶情緒色彩”的議員黛安·范士丹)。

2.lead to 導(dǎo)致
