Of course the report puts members of the committee (including it's
chairperson Feinstein) in a favorable light and as being victims.
*They* wrote the report.

They don't want any culpability tied to them. Bad for their legacy.
Bad for the 2016 elections.

That won't fly. The R's issued a report, and so did the CIA.
History will judge Congress's culpability.
What's known 100% is that the CIA ran the torture chambers.

You say you want to know what your government is doing. I just told you.

Personally, if it saved lives I don't care if they had
driven toothpicks under the fingernails of some of the scum held at GTMO.

Yeah, and you'd select which ones get tortured.
Judge, jury and torturer all rolled into one.
You would be better served keeping your mouth shut about your desire to
torture people, and seek psychological counseling.

Americans have a short memory.
This was a year or so after 911 and if you released the report then,
people would be saying "is that all that they are doing to catch these
****ers"?

That's the problem with people like BOA. He selectively ignores some
things if it doesn't serve his argument.

There is plenty of debate going on about the release of this report and
it's not limited to the right-leaning media outlets. Even MSNBC has
raised some questions regarding the motivations of Feinstien and her
committee. The committee never bothered interviewing any of the people
who were actually involved in the interrogation program as research for
the report. It started as a conclusion which then had to be justified
with selectively chosen accusations and facts. You are correct. Many
of the same people were chastising the CIA for not doing enough shortly
after 9/11.

Finger pointing and evading responsibility. That's all.
