SFor years, the CIA has been feuding withenate report: CIA lied about torture results

[francoHFW]

ANOTHER out of control Bush agency to go with ATF and IRS, Oil and Wall St. regulation,etc etc...

For years, the CIA has been feuding with the Senate Intelligence Committee over its report on Bush-era "enhanced interrogation techniques," and now we know why. While the 6,300-page report remains classified, on Monday U.S. officials described its contents in detail to the Washington Post. The report concludes that the CIA routinely misled members of Congress and the public by suggesting detainees gave up key information due to the use of those brutal techniques, when they had actually talked before the interrogation. "The CIA described [its program] repeatedly both to the Department of Justice and eventually to Congress as getting unique, otherwise unobtainable intelligence that helped disrupt terrorist plots and save thousands of lives," said one U.S. official. "Was that actually true? The answer is no."

The CIA has a lot of problems but torture isn't one of them. The so-called "waterboarding" enhanced interrogation has been in the psychological operations manual for decades. Radical lefties found it and revised the definition of torture as a freaking political tool. Our own advanced special military units even go through it. More people died in Teddy Kennedy's car than by waterboarding.

The items bolded are thing whitehall thinks dispels the fact that we tortured people and told people we dont

And, mainly, it didn't work. RWers just love doing it.....

Well it does work but only in their heads. They say "Man torture hurts. I'd tell the truth if someone tortured me" and that becomes

"Torture works"

No proof needed. They already checked the most important source: Their gut

 

[rightwinger]

Whether it works or not...there is no justification for torture

 

[Sallow]

This is basically what happens when you hold that "national security" trumps individual liberty.

Each and every time.

You cannot post or say this enough.

It's inhumane.
It's unconstitutional.
And it goes that grain against everything that has made America a great country.

I remember watching movies when I was a kid. Nazis and Japanese torturing prisoners to get information. The message was....America was above that

Until Bush

Paul Begala: Yes, National Review, We Did Execute Japanese for Waterboarding

Sen. McCain was right in 2007 and National Review Online is wrong today. America did execute Japanese war criminals for waterboarding.

CIA misled on interrogation program, Senate report says - The Washington Post

By Greg Miller, Adam Goldman and Ellen Nakashima, Published: March 31 E-mail the writers
A report by the Senate Intelligence Committee concludes that the CIA misled the government and the public about aspects of its brutal interrogation program for years — concealing details about the severity of its methods, overstating the significance of plots and prisoners, and taking credit for critical pieces of intelligence that detainees had in fact surrendered before they were subjected to harsh techniques.

The report, built around detailed chronologies of dozens of CIA detainees, documents a long-standing pattern of unsubstantiated claims as agency officials sought permission to use — and later tried to defend — excruciating interrogation methods that yielded little, if any, significant intelligence, according to U.S. officials who have reviewed the document.
