CIA torture sites, by color
From WikiAlpha
The United States Senate Intelligence Committee published a 600 page summary of its report on the CIA's use of torture.[1]
Prior to its release journalists who follow the USA's were aware that the CIA had assigned a color code to each torture site.[1] The Senate report enabled these journalists to associate the torture sites with their color codes.
