NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL
Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor Jan. 20, 2001 – Jan. 26, 2005 Secretary of State Jan. 26, 2005 – Jan. 20, 2009
Rice chaired the National Security Council Principals Committee which approved the CIA’s requests to torture detainees using “enhanced interrogation techniques,” including waterboarding. CIA Director Tenet briefed the Principals Committee in detail on the CIA’s requested techniques and on interrogation plans for specific detainees. Rice and the NSC approved of the interrogation plans and techniques, including the waterboarding of al-Nashiri, Abu Zubaydah, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, as well as of the combined use of the techniques. In July 2003, Rice, Cheney, Ashcroft, and others reaffirmed the CIA’s use of abusive techniques in response to requests by CIA Director Tenet.*
