When pressed by journalists during his time in the White House, former President George W. Bush said repeatedly that the U.S. didn't torture.

But the picture that emerged during the Bush Administration after the use of waterboarding on Bush's watch became widely known was of an administration that countenanced torture techniques despite Bush's assertions to the contrary.

That picture is expected to gain a bit more resolution Monday when a report by the Central Intelligence Agency's director is publicly released. The report, according to Newsweek, will outline how CIA interrogators used mock executions and psychological torture to extract information from terror suspects.

A Newsweek excerpt:

According to two sources—one who has read a draft of the paper and one who was briefed on it—the report describes how one detainee, suspected USS Cole bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, was threatened with a gun and a power drill during the course of CIA interrogation. According to the sources, who like others quoted in this article asked not to be named while discussing sensitive information, Nashiri's interrogators brandished the gun in an effort to convince him that he was going to be shot. Interrogators also turned on a power drill and held it near him. "The purpose was to scare him into giving [information] up," said one of the sources. A federal law banning the use of torture expressly forbids threatening a detainee with "imminent death."

The report also says, according to the sources, that a mock execution was staged in a room next to a detainee, during which a gunshot was fired in an effort to make the suspect believe that another prisoner had been killed. The inspector general's report alludes to more than one mock execution.
