Two psychologists who devised the CIA’s brutal interrogation program have settled a lawsuit with several victims less than three weeks before a jury trial was set to begin in a federal court in Spokane, Wash.

The settlement, reached Wednesday, caps a remarkable case in which for the first time former top CIA officials were forced to testify about their roles in the program launched after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

It wasn't brutal WAPO. Trust me, I'm a 'gator. In fact, in the history of warfare, it was pretty lame. And designing the program didn't mean they operated outside of the law, as it went under LEGAL REVIEW during that administration.

Fcktards.
