A group of former top-ranking CIA officials disputed a U.S. Senate committee's finding that the agency's interrogation techniques produced no valuable intelligence, saying such work had saved thousands of lives.

Former CIA directors George Tenet, Porter Goss and Michael Hayden, along with three ex-deputy directors, wrote in an op-ed article published on Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal that the Senate Intelligence Committee report also was wrong in saying the agency had been deceptive about its work following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

Wait until all the facts come out about this "report". It will end up looking like the Unarmed Black Teenager lie.

[McGruff]

"The committee has given us ... 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," they said.

Oh, the government is telling lies about you? Welcome to my world G-man.

[Williams]

I don’t even need them to tell me the report is bogus, but I’m glad they did.

I think most Americans would like the terrorists tortured, plain and simple.

What I don’t see is anyone noticing that the timing of the release of this report is obviously to give that treasonous political party and its ‘natural born liar’ of a leader a news item for its lapdog media to divert the attention of the ‘stupid Americans’ to ignore both the Gruber and Benghazi hearings.

Most of us realize this CIA report is one sided. This should wake more of us up that the final push of America into a dictatorship controlled the the communists. There is no doubt that the Democratic party is the hard core communists party. America is on the road to total tyranny and the GOP will not stop it. America is finished so enjoy it, we are going there.

By the way are there still any anti Romney out there? Of course there are idiots but if we had Romney in 2012 none of this final push would be happening.

And successfully used to draw attention away from Gruber’s testimony.

"Wait until all the facts come out about this "report". It will end up looking like the Unarmed Black Teenager lie."

But with the leftist media; once a lie is told...

[Baynative]

"And successfully used to draw attention away from Gruber’s testimony."

Yesterday in the hearings, racist congressman Elijah Cummings want balistic on Gruber. He was livid and told him, "You've ruined it for us! You gave the republicans a big gift wrapped present for 2016"

It will end up looking like the Unarmed Black Teenager lie.

It's already done. Every MSM outlet I've seen is treating this as gospel truth. None of them are committing journalism and questioning any of it.

It seems that Feinstein’s big goal here was making a big splash on her way out. There’s a lot of push back on her report. Seems more like a swan song than a deliberate attempt at revealing reasoned problems. It was beneath her. Overall, she hasn’t been your typical Democrat on national security issues. Here she winds up tarnishing her entire service, for this silly report that many are finding unworthy.

[dfwgator]

All the Senate did yesterday was weaken a country.

[GOPJ]

It’s a hit piece against the men and women who are willing to give up their lives to keep the rest of us alive.

I have seen General Hayden on the Sunday morning news shows. I trust him much more than any democrat I can think of. I would like to see him debate Feinstein.

[FlingWingFlyer]

In short, it’s nothing but DemocRAT political BS. Feinstein only wanted Al Qaeda and ISIS to know that the DemocRATS have their backs.
