September 2, 2006, Fax from ███████, DD/CTC, to Steve Bradbury, John Bellinger III, Steve Cambone, forwarding September 1, 2006 Memorandum, “Anticipated Foreign Reactions to the Public Announcement of the US Secret Terrorist Detention Center.” █████ had begun raising legal and policy concerns related to [any potential] support and assistance to the CIA in rendition, detention, and interrogation operations in March 2005. ██officers indicated that they believed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the █████████████████████ prohibited ███ from aiding or assisting in these CIA operations.

“[REDACTED] article fallout.” According to CIA records, the ███████ of Country ██ was “very angry” about press reports, which, he believed, would be “exploited by radical elements” to “foment increased hostility toward [Country ██] government.” [REDACTED] DIRR ████ [REDACTED]; [REDACTED] ████ [REDACTED]. CIA records further state that the press reporting would “put considerable strain on the relationship.” (See “[REDACTED] article fallout.”) Despite this record, and other records in the full Committee Study, the CIA’s June 2013 Response states “[w]e found no evidence that the RDI program in any way negatively affected US relations overall with Country ██.”

See email from: [REDACTED]; to: ███████, ███████, [REDACTED]; cc: ███ ████; subject: ████ CTC ████ meeting re: ███████; date: █████, at 4:57:29 PM. The June discussion is also referenced in ████████; Memorandum for the Record; to: C/CTC ████; from: C/CTC ████/RDG; subject: Site Visit to ███████ and Recommendations. As described, in June 2006, the CIA inspector general issued an audit that concluded that while CIA detention facilities lacked sufficient debriefers, they “were constructed, equipped, and staffed to securely and safely contain detainees and prompt intelligence exploitation of detainees.” The audit further determined that the facilities “are not equipped to provide medical treatment to detainees who have or develop serious physical or mental disorders, and operable plans are not in place to provide inpatient care for detainees,” and concluded that CIA detention facilities were not equipped to provide emergency medical care to detainees. The audit team did not visit the facility in Country ██, but stated, with regard to another country, Country ██, that “CIA funds have been wasted in constructing and equipping a medical facility that was later determined not to be a viable option for providing inpatient care for detainees.” See Report of Audit, CIA-controlled Detention Facilities Operated Under the 17 September 2001 Memorandum of Notification, Report No. 2005-0017-AS, June 14, 2006, at DTS # 2006-2793.

981.
CIA Comments on the February 2007 ICRC Report on the Treatment of Fourteen “High Value Detainees” in CIA Custody. At a Committee Hearing on April 12, 2007, CIA Director Hayden emphasized the close relationship the CIA had with the lCRC (“I believe our contacts with the ICRC have been very useful. I have met with ████ ███████, the █████████ for the Red Cross, on several occasions at CIA. It appears that ███ ██████ is a runner and he’s promised to bring his gear with him next time he comes to Langley so that we can jog on the compound.”), but emphasized the errors in the ICRC report, stating: “While CIA appreciates the time, effort, and good intentions of the ICRC in forming its report, numerous false allegations of physical or threatened abuses and faulty legal assumptions and analysis in the report undermine its overall credibility.” (See SSCI Hearing Transcript, dated April 12, 2007 (DTS# 2007-3158).) As is described in more detail in Volume II, Director Hayden’s statements to the Committee regarding the ICRC report included significant inaccurate information.
