Senate Torture Report Condemns C.I.A. Interrogation Program
A satellite image of a prison in Afghanistan known as the Salt Pit. The C.I.A. said the prison never used waterboarding, but the Senate Intelligence Committee obtained a photograph of a waterboard there surrounded by buckets of water. SPACE IMAGING, VIA GETTY IMAGES By MARK MAZZETTI DECEMBER 9, 2014 WASHINGTON A scathing report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday found that the Central Intelligence Agency routinely misled the White House and Congress about the information it obtained from the detention and interrogation of terrorism suspects, and that its methods were more brutal than the C.I.A. acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public.
The long-delayed report, which took five years to produce and is based on more than six million internal agency documents, is a sweeping indictment of the C.I.A.'s operation and oversight of a program carried out by agency officials and contractors in secret prisons around the world in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It also provides a macabre accounting of some of the grisliest techniques that the C.I.A. used to torture and imprison terrorism suspects.
Detainees were deprived of sleep for as long as a week, and were sometimes told that they would be killed while in American custody.

Makes me want to vomit.
Should just one soldier be killed as a result of this, I fully back the military considering the Dorkbama to be an enemy of the state.
And they should remember that they vowed to defend our country against all enemies, “...foreign and DOMESTIC.”

This report is very dangerous to frankenfinestein’s life.
We should just do it the ISIS way.
Give them one week, then cut their heads off and put the video on the internet.
But silly us, we just make them uncomfortable.
The blood will be on her hands.
This is shameful.
I think the goal of the leadership of the Democrat Party is to DESTROY the power and reputation of the United States...economically, socially, spiritually.
Obama and the Democrats despise the three Cs: Christianity, the Constitution, and capitalism.
Obama and the dems are using this as leverage in their larger goal, the shutting down of Gitmo and the release of all prisoners. They will measure their success by the amount of death and damage Americans suffer as a result of their actions.
The rancid odor of treason grows more pungent each day.
One clandestine officer described the prison as a dungeon, and another said that some prisoners there literally looked like a dog that had been kenneled.
I’m sorry, but I didn’t realize that when you took your dog to a kennel they were undergoing torture and were miserable.

Amen
Let's assume you're right... (and I believe you ARE right) who benefits?
I am almost positive, after 9 deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, that we did not behead anyone. We did not dehand anyone (ala Saddam), we did not rape their family members in front of them (why would we want to), we did not stretch their necks on cranes (ala Iran), did not break bones, dislocate limbs or any of a hundred other things our enemies do.
We scared them and made them feel bad. Real torture for the limp wrist Democrats who haven’t got a clue about what really happens outside of their little reservation.
Because the Waterboard works. That's what the American Left does not want the American people to know. It's one of those tidbits of knowledge they want to keep from us for our own good.
Torture works.
McCain is on the floor right now defending the release of the report and claiming that waterboarding did nothing to help us fight the war on terror- his testimony alone will cement the left’s desire to destroy this nation and put our military at greater risk- Thanks McCain for once again proving you are not a republican!
Now John McCain has gone to the floor of the Senate to speak....in agreement with the treasonous Demon Rats.
Please, Arizona, next election cycle replace McCain with a Constitutionalist.
If you think the Waterboard is not "real torture", you are sorely misinformed.
That said, I support it's use on foreign enemies who are out of uniform, but not captured, uniformed soldiers.
Bush waterboarded 4-6 guys.
Obama killed 2,400 in drone strikes.
[[Let’s assume you’re right... (and I believe you ARE right) who benefits?]]
Um- the left does as they pilfer trillions of dollars from we the people in the name of global climate change mandates, fines and taxes, while they control what religious organizations can and can’t preach and practice, while they force religious groups to comply with their socialist mandates- while the military pulls out from the world so that it is here at home ready for any uprisings against big government- on and on it does- The left no longer want this country to be involved in world affairs so that it can concentrate on stealing what’s left of it’s citizen’s money through heavy handed regulations etc-
