Editor: Your front-page article, "Senate report finds brutal questioning by CIA didn't work," appeared on a memorable day — December 10 — the same day on which, in 1948, the United Nations adopted and published the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Also on December 10, in 1984, the United Nations adopted the U.N. Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Though they shared a calendar day, the contrast in content between the Universal Declaration and the account of The Senate Intelligence Committee's report could not be more stark.
