U.S. rights groups want special prosecutor to probe CIA tactics

Justice Department spokesman Marc Raimondi said authorities had already conducted two criminal investigations but that the Department had declined to prosecute anyone on the grounds of insufficient admissible evidence.

He said investigators had reviewed the Senate committee’s report but found no “new information” that they had “not previously considered.”

International human rights monitors and politicians, including United Nations figures, have also called for criminal investigations of U.S. officials implicated in the CIA’s harsh interrogations.
