Leaked Report Says CIA Tortured Illegally; Feinstein's Mad Somebody Leaked It:
The McClatchy news service reported Friday that it had obtained a leaked copy of a Senate Intelligence Committee report that contradicts pretty much everything the CIA has said about its Detention and Interrogation Program. Here's the list of the report's conclusions (PDF), but let me just break it down for you:
- The CIA tortured people;
- Even under to the DOJ's definition of "torture," it tortured people;
- It lied about how many people it tortured;
- It lied about how brutal the torture was;
- It "avoided or impeded" congressional oversight;
- It lied about whether the torture worked; and
- The torture didn't work.
