The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday released its report on CIA torture techniques, according to an analysis published by The Daily Beast.

The report reveals that detainees were subjected to “rectal feeding” and “rectal hydration” even if they did not have medical need.

According to the report, the CIA may have waterboarded more than the three prisoners the agency admitted to have subjected to the torture technique. The report details that waterboarding sometimes led to vomiting and convulsions.

The committee also found that the use of these techniques did not produce significant intelligence about terrorist attacks. The Senate committee argues that the information revealed through torture could have been obtained through other means.
