| Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell has said that he has "no idea" if the enhanced interrogation techniques used during the Bush administration were effective.
"I have no idea. I hear that they were. I hear that they weren’t. You see people from the FBI who come out and say, ''We got all of that information before any of that was done.'' I cannot answer that question. And the problem is, I don’t know what I don’t know," Powell told CBS’s "Face the Nation" Sunday programme.
He said that he was aware that enhanced methods of interrogation were being considered in the aftermath of 9/11 but said he was "not privy" to the memos of legal documents that were being written.
"I think it was unfortunate but we had a system that kept that in a very compartmented manner. And so I was apart that these enhanced interrogation techniques were being considered. And they were judged not to be torture at the time," he said
