CIA Report on Torture Release Delayed
All I can say is that I can’t wait to see this report. I wonder if the revelations that KSM said he lied a lot is a leak from this report. Keep watching! According to the article, the report will be released on Friday.
Hmmm, looks like we’re going to have to keep waiting: The CIA has postponed the release of a highly-anticipated 2004 report on torture that was set for release today and is said to conclude that there’s no proof torture foiled terror plots, a source familiar with the process confirms to me.
CIA spokesperson George Little also just emailed that the CIA expects the process to conclude “soon,” a clear sign it won’t be today.
The report, which has a long section detailing whether torture is “effective,” could dramatically undercut Dick Cheney’s claims that torture works and have a major impact on the debate over the legality of the torture program. As I’ve noted here before, for these reasons, Dem Hill staffers have called the report the “Holy Grail.”
…
The “soon” means not today. The report is said to conclude that “it is difficult to determine conclusively whether interrogations provided information critical to interdicting specific imminent attacks,” in the words of one of the recently-released torture memos, which made a passing reference to it. It is also said to raise serious questions about the legality of certain aspects of the torture program, which could fuel calls for a serious inquiry.

The only Holy Grail is we were not attacked after 9/11. If you folks care about the truth have the President declassify all memos and letters on the program. You and I both know he won’t because it will expose Obama as a liar.
Perhaps with the report we can get a detailed report on the rendition which still goes on today. You know, the ‘outsourcing’ of torture which Obama has approved. Bill Clinton did it almost 100 times.
Why do liberals stay up all night mad that some one was working to keep the country safe?
Please hurry up and release the report and show the world how little you care about lives.

You and I both know…
I love that you’re telling me what I know.
The only Holy Grail is we were not attacked after 9/11…
Resetting the bar. Yes, despite being president during the biggest terrorist attack in American history and ignoring the warnings leading up to it, there were hardly any others on American soil.
Hello…Anthrax?
There were plenty of Americans killed and some unknown number of Iraqis killed by our war in Iraq. Not to mention the attacks in Spain, London, Egypt, etc.
Protack’s stupidity is bottomless.
When he hangs his arguments on such transparently wrong “facts” it is like he is begging to be ridiculed and ultimately ignored.
Couldn’t he at least try to come up with some truth-y sounding “fact” to mix in once in a while?
