U.S. Marines are on high alert. So are the CIA and the White House for that matter.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle also are ready to enter the fray.
All the fuss is over the Senate Intelligence Committee's $50 million investigation of Bush-era CIA interrogation tactics on detainees in the years following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The long-delayed report on the use of torture - "enhanced interrogation techniques" - by the U.S. government is expected to be released Tuesday morning.
This won't be a full disclosure, but the report's 480-page executive summary. There will also be a shorter Republican counter-assessment and the CIA's own assessment. The complete report totals more than 6,000 pages.
The release comes six years into the Barack Obama presidency and in the waning days of Democratic Party control in the Senate.
Countries that cooperated with the CIA, hosting black site prisons and assisting in transferring detainees, will be identified only obliquely and not by name. CIA employees, referred to by pseudonyms in the report, won't be identified.
The Senate report was conceived initially as a bipartisan review of the CIA program, though Republicans senators pulled support from the investigation soon after it began. Its findings likely will end up being seen through the prism of the deeply-partisan divide over the Bush-era counter-terrorism tactics and whether they actually produced intelligence to keep the nation safe.
More than a hundred detainees went through the CIA's detention program, and about a third were subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques," which included waterboarding, exposure to cold temperatures, slapping and sleep deprivation. Three were waterboarded, which is considered the harshest of the techniques.
For some Republicans and CIA supporters, there's still a dispute about whether techniques like waterboarding, used on three detainees, constitutes torture.

Lousy b******
Not a huge news item yet but this will have lasting effects folks.....
There is no reason to release this crap...and this report will be distorted around the world.
If no one wants it released...why is it being released? Who is pushing it?
Keeps stirring the pot. Dispicable.
It’s what commies, socialists, Marxists and fascists do.
Typical of the Dems.
They care noting about Americans or the country, but do care about their personal political agenda.
To hell with them and their cult.
nothing
Obvious attempt to deflect attention from huge problems here at home. This government is bordering on outright psychosis. Implosion imminent....
No-Just another childish and malicious ‘pay back’ for the mess HE got himself into.
Torture? You want figgin torture? I’ll give you friggin torture.
Standing in a window 50 stories up and trying to decide if you want to die in the building collapsing or by hitting the ground and getting it over with. Huddling in a stairwell filled with smoke and wndering if you will die before the fire gets to you or the building collapses. Watching TV and knowing your husband, wife, son, daughter is in the building 2 planes have just crashed into and watching those building crash to the ground.
There IS NOT ANYTHING that we can do to these animnal that attack us that is out of bounds as far as I am concerned. Well maybe not cutting ther heads of on camera for their families to watch like they do to us.
What’s the big deal? We are waterboarding and they are cutting off heads.
We should use every and any means necessary (up to and including torture of the most vile kind) to extract the information we need to defend ourselves.
If the liberals don’t want us to get that information then we are left with no other option than to nuke every last moslem country and to kill every last moslem.
In the long run, islam is the enemy, either it gets eradicated or we do.
Still after Bush, treasonist rat politicians opening up our a##es to the enemy in hopes that they can gain some momentum in the 2016 elections at the cost of putting our military thier families and americans in the cross hairs. What about Benghazi? What about the jimmy carter-esk botch rescue just the other day? By the looks of the election map from this Novemebr we sure are the majority and we are tooooooooooooooooooooo quiet. Dont you think it’s time to roast the rats as well as some GOP this coming YEAR?
Democrats are doing this to provide news cover for the House hearings with Gruber on Obamacare.
Is it as much torture as Obamacare?
Did they show terrorists pictures of Mohammad’s toes?
Did they feed them tofu, and call it pork? The horrors never cease.
This just Dingy Hairy and his minions releasing their last bitter bits of bile.
Nobody cares about the CIA torturing terrorist except the loony left. The CIA actually did it’s job that is the REAL news here.
Is there anything this Administration won’t pour gasoline on?
The Democrats are detetable, but they are first and foremost survivors. The creature in Alien has nothing on the Rats.
“And just before Christmas”
Well after all, Christmas isn’t one of obamas holidays anyway now is it?
