• CIA torture report: Poland admits US used black site on its territory (The Independent, link): "Poland has acknowledged for the first time that there was a CIA "black site" on its soil."

• The Money Behind The CIA's Torture Program (Forbes, link): "In total, the report claims that the CIA's detention and interrogation program cost "well over $300 million in non-personnel costs." One individual associated with the CIA program on the ground level told U.S. government investigators that the program had "more money than we could possibly spend we thought, and it turned out to be accurate.""

• CIA torture report a 'good start,' but child victims of rendition absent (Reprieve, link): "We are still a long way from acknowledging the horrors of the CIA's torture programme, and achieving real accountability"

• CIA report: 'Torture is a crime and those responsible must be brought to justice' (The Guardian, link): "The UN, human rights activists and legal experts have renewed calls for the Obama administration to prosecute US officials responsible for the CIA torture programme revealed in extensive detail following the release of a damning report by the Senate intelligence committee."
