The real story behind the release of the CIA ‘torture’ report - Joseph Curl/Washington Times

Senate Democrats and President Obama have moved up to a whole new level of desperate....

Tuesday was a political "high point," –or "low point," if you prefer. - Freedom Outpost
Quite by design, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, encouraged by the Democrat-controlled Senate and the Obama Administration, released a 528 ◼ Executive Summary of its $40 million, 6,000 page "Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program," uncovering the impropriety of ◼ methods used by the CIA to obtain information from high-ranking Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups responsible for the Trade Center bombing, among other things. The report is critical of the "enhanced interrogation" technique known as "waterboarding," plus other "tortures," such as playing loud music and sleep deprivation. Former senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE) ◼ writing in USA Today said, "I do not need to read the report to know that the Democrat staff alone wrote it. The Republicans checked out early when they determined that their counterparts started out with the premise that the CIA was guilty and then worked to prove it." They interviewed no CIA participants; issued no indictments or recommendations. The report will certainly be used to feed enemy terrorist propaganda....
The Democrat Select Committee On Intelligence Releases Their “We Hate America” CIA Report… (Full 500+ Page pdf included) - Conservative Treehouse
The media is claiming CIA Director John Brennan is angry about the release of the CIA report…. Horsepucky! That is a complete and total ruse meant to deflect attention away from the real reasons why the former White House advisor, and fellow ideological traveler, was selected for the top job in the CIA.

Secondly, while the leftist ideologues are in a drama induced apoplectic feint about the Democrat Committee reports’ content, there is nothing within the report that is as bad as the previous leaks -around content- would have led anyone to believe.

However, that said, what the report does do is effectively accomplish it’s inherent goal. The goal of the report was to further diminish the influence of America through President Obama’s preferred method of Alinsky tactics: Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize.

Senator calls for CIA chief's resignation after 'disturbing' discovery - Susan Crabtree/Washington Examiner
Sen. Mark Udall accused the CIA of continuing to mislead Congress and the public about his agency’s use of extreme interrogation techniques and called on President Obama to purge the agency of its top leadership, including Director John Brennan.

...“The president believes he has done an exemplary job in both of those roles,” Earnest said.

The comments sharply contrast Udall’s description of Brennan’s record at the CIA and the White House.

Udall accused the 25-year veteran of the CIA of trying to cover up a review of the extreme interrogation practices undertaken by Leon Panetta, Obama’s first CIA director. He also charged Brennan with “clinging to a false narrative about the effectiveness of the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program.”

Peppered with questions about the effectiveness of the interrogation tactics, Earnest repeatedly declined to say whether the program produced actionable intelligence that helped save American lives, as Brennan forcefully argued in a statement reacting to the report’s release Tuesday.

In outlining his criticisms of the CIA’s “dismissive” reaction to the Senate investigators, Udall cited factual disparities between Brennan’s responses to committee questions and the Panetta Review. He said Senate staff obtained a partial version of the review when the agency inadvertently provided access to it during the panel’s nearly six-year investigation.

“In my view, the Panetta Review is a smoking gun,” he said, calling for the declassification and release of the entire review.

The entire Senate review, he said, leads to a “disturbing” discovery — that Brennan and the CIA are continuing to provide inaccurate information about the efficacy of the interrogation program.

“In other words, the CIA is lying,” he said.
