All the report does is "make it official" that the US government tortured. Like Obama noted a few years back, "we tortured some folks".
It is some measure of vindication for those like me, frequently described by others as "tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists". That is, it shows that the conspiracies were not imaginary, but very real.
Given Abu Ghraib and human conditions, understanding it was happening was not exactly rocket science, but it is nice that the government would "officially" acknowledge what we were talking about.
Well, if partisan, hackish reports are what you are looking for out of government, then I can understand why you cheer this broken demo party...This wasn't a unified report that was released, it was a one sided pile of steaming dung.
