In a statement before Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California released the report, Mr. Obama said the probe reinforces my long-held view that these harsh methods were not only inconsistent with our values as nation, they did not serve our broader counterterrorism efforts or our national security interests.

More people died during the riots in Ferguson than died at the hands of our interrogators.

CIA's use of such techniques as sleep deprivation,... That 'torture' technique was used at Waco.
So Clinton and Reno tortured American citizens.

I guess we’ll no fairly quick who the CIA aligns with. My bet is NOT on the American side. It’s been said here for many years that the CIA was politicized and is more party oriented than nation oriented. tick-tock, time will tell.

CIA torture tactics harmed America but not nearly as much as the obama administration.

There is a reason ‘Torture’ is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.
THEY KNEW THAT AT SOME TIMES IT IS NECESSARY......................

If you and your fellow CIA folks are “outed” in a Senate report, you might think otherwise.

Plame was outed by her idiot husband (who loved hanging out with lefties in DC) and what happened? Republicans got blamed. I don’t have much faith at this point.

It is implied under “cruel and unusual punishment,” but that is for punishment, and not interrogation.

According to DiFi, the Enhanced interrogation techniques did not produce not even one single actionable bit of information. The CIA did this for years and never got one bit of good information. Unbelievable.

The release of 5 of the worst terrorists in exchange for Bergdahl...without notifying congress....was an act of treason.
