Al Qaeda Suspects Torture

Former US President George W Bush was fully aware of and an "integral part" of the CIA's torture of terror suspects, his Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday.

Sleep deprivation for over a week, beatings, shackling, and waterboarding - a grim litany of the cruel methods used by the Bush-era CIA to interrogate Al-Qaeda terror suspects was exposed on Tuesday.

The Central Intelligence Agency tortured Al Qaeda suspects "until the point of death" by drowning them in water-filled baths, Britain's Daily Telegraph reported on Monday, ahead of the publication of a US Senate report on interrogation techniques.
