The Senate Intelligence investigators never spoke to us—the leaders of the agency whose policies they are now assailing for partisan reasons. The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on Central Intelligence Agency detention and interrogation of terrorists, prepared only by the Democratic majority staff, is a missed opportunity to deliver a serious and balanced study of an important public policy question. The committee has given us instead a one-sided study marred by errors of fact and interpretation—essentially a poorly done and partisan attack on the agency that has done the most to protect America after the 9/11 attacks.

If another airplane or dirty bomb had hit the capital, Sen. Feinstein would have been first in line filling the buckets of water.
I won’t give up breathing while waiting for that to happen.
After all, the Agency wonks want their pensions, too...
McCain proves again he’s lost his mind.
Anyone who gets worked up over waterboarding has their own personal issues. Or putting panties on the head of some Islamic terrorist. Good grief
Oh, and please those of you who support abortion give us any lectures on morality, etc. Got that DiFi?
What a bunch of pompous self serving unpatriotic hypocrites
I watched Norah O’Donnell clench her teeth while interogting the former cia chief this morning. He slammed dunked her (expectedly as she is such a lightweight) and she just hated it.
Exactly. They don’t care about saving the lives of Americans, at home or abroad.
The democrats, which include McCain and Graham, are traitors.
McCain, known as “the canary” by his fellow POWs, always says torture brings out false information. That’s his story because that’s what he said he did. When the truth is he cost lots of pilots their lives. On top of that, his injuries were from ejecting after being shot down because he didn’t follow orders of the mission. Just the third plane he crashed. His daddy always protected him. Including when he was in the Hanoi Hilton. Google it.
What is wrong with these stinking good for nothing socialist homo loving communist A-holes!!!!!!!!!!!! Dimocrats don’t give a good tinkers da&#^% about CIA, Military, Cops. They only care about poor illegals, sit on their butt lazy a$$e$ at home, sucking the country dry of money and benefits they never earned.
we need out military to take action domestically
The only problem I have with torture is that it may be used on us Christians before too long!
If they could guarantee it would only be used on Muslims, I’d be okay with it.
It IS being used on Christians .....
all over the world
Torture far worse than anything done at CIA rendition sites . Yet how many of these Demo-whiners are mentioning that ?
Democrats or GOP or actual conservatives, I don’t care, but I support anyone who tells the American people the truth about what our government has been up to. Especially the CIA, which seems to feel, all too often, that it is a law unto itself. Now, if this report is a pack of lies, I’m against it, and the Demos will be disgraced. But if it is true, my hat is off to them.
Pure theater by Fineswine and other rats in the $inate.
If they are really concerned about harming people without due process and/or justice, how many of them are crying about the bad and innocent people killed by our drones controlled by our outhouse.
While Difiswine and McAinal display their public crocodile tears, their buddies the Islamic Jihadist terrorists kill more and more innocent people.

Jihadist attacks killed more than 5,000 people in just one month, an investigation by the BBC World Service and King’s College London has found.
Civilians bore the brunt of the violence, with more than 2,000 killed in reported jihadist incidents during November 2014. Islamic State carried out the most attacks, adding to the spiralling death toll in Iraq and Syria. Explore the map to find out more.
The data gathered by the BBC found that 5,042 people were killed in 664 jihadist attacks across 14 countries - a daily average of 168 deaths, or seven every hour.
About 80% of the deaths came in just four countries - Iraq, Nigeria, Syria and Afghanistan, according to the study of media and civil society reports.
Iraq was the most dangerous place to be, with 1,770 deaths in 233 attacks, ranging from shootings to suicide bombings.
In Nigeria, 786 people, almost all of them civilians, were killed in 27 Boko Haram incidents. These tended to be large and indiscriminate bombings and shootings such as the attack on the central mosque in the northern city of Kano, which left 120 dead.
Boko Haram also struck over the border in Cameroon, killing 15 people. Meanwhile, in East Africa, al-Shabab took 266 lives in Somalia and Kenya.
Afghanistan suffered almost the same number of deaths as Nigeria (782) but they tended to be in smaller, targeted attacks, such as the shooting of the deputy governor of Kandahar.
In war-ravaged Syria, 693 people were killed; Yemen had 410 deaths in 37 attacks.
Of the 16 jihadist groups involved in the bloodshed, Islamic State was the most deadly, killing 2,206 people across Iraq and Syria - 44% of the total death toll.
Simple petty female dog.
