WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate report on the CIA's interrogation and detention practices after the 9/11 attacks concludes that the agency initially kept the secretary of state and some U.S. ambassadors in the dark about harsh techniques and secret prisons, according to a document circulating among White House staff.

The still-classified report also says some ambassadors who were informed about interrogations of al-Qaida detainees at so-called black sites in their countries were instructed not to tell their superiors at the State Department, the document says.

The 6,300-page Senate report on the CIA's interrogation program has been years in the making. ...

We have disasters all over the place, and the Senate is still working on this? We are so doomed.

Couldn’t care less if they ripped fingernails or applied hot irons to them.

More political BS from the Senate Democrats.

Nothing the CIA did constituted torture as defined by US law and an international convention. But the Democrats and their fellow travelers McGraham figure if they shout the word often enough that makes it torture.

Sounds like they’re setting up Conlin Powell to make a run for President...

Given how much $hit they got away with the first sophisticated, ultra-liberal black guy HOW ON EARTH could they not simply try it all over again..?

This is to get Powell warmed up in the liberal bull-pen to run as a Dem for Prez in case Hillaghazi has to bail.

Prez or Senator, AT LEAST.

Deceptively titled, this has little to do with Powell.

Worth the time to read. The Dims are going to make this THE story building up to the 2014 elections. They’ve been working on this for over a decade, but it’s going to be “coincidentally” released in the next few months. This is their October surprise, and my guess is when it hits the MSM, it’ll wipe everything else off the front page from now until November.

Perhaps you are right. I hadn’t thought of that.
