WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate investigators have delivered a damning indictment of CIA interrogation practices after the 9/11 attacks, accusing the agency of inflicting pain and suffering on prisoners with tactics that went well beyond legal limits.
The torture report released Tuesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee says the CIA deceived the nation with its insistence that the harsh interrogation tactics had saved lives. It says those claims are unsubstantiated by the CIA’s own records.
The 500-page report represents the executive summary and conclusions from a still-classified 6,700-page full investigation.

Reportedly, the CIA, in its 100 page response to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report, will pointedly ask why the people who issued the orders (Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield…et al) are not also being called forward and held accountable for their roles in this entire depraved affair. And with THAT, I couldn’t agree more!

And BTW: Only in Republican Con and Bagger ‘Opposite World’ could you commit illegal spying, torture, war and perjury (as so many pols and their henchmen in the Bush Administration did)…AND YET…believe wholeheartedly that the people who expose it should go to jail.
