Witnesses testified about interrogation techniques and methods used to question suspected terrorists at U.S. detention facilities in Cuba and Afghanistan. Several former military judge advocates answered questions about the use of torture such as waterboarding, sensory deprivation, forced nudity, stress positions and exploitation of phobias, as well as legal justifications for the enhanced techniques. They also testified about the role senior Pentagon officials played in developing policies for detainee interrogations and the degree to which the Justice Department and Central Intelligence Agency participated in the decision-making process.
