Senate panel releases scathing report on CIA interrogation...

If it involves all those people how come none of them were interviewed for the report?

:shrug:

I don't work for the government and I am not aware of their private conversations.
 
Because we are too stuborn as a country to recognise international law.

I think it had more to do with being too strong a country to be willing to be subjected to kangaroo courts filled with agenda driven ideologues. We have our own courts where such matters can be adjudicated.
 
Shouldn't former CIA chiefs have been interviewed for the report?
Your link said they claim the practices did save lives.

You can look at results objectively. What they say must have a result that all can see. That has always been the trouble with what they say. There has never been anything anyone could point to.
 
Every act of torture spits on the grave of the victims of terrorism.

We have commited acts that proove we are just as barbaric as any terrorist.

If the governments won't bring the torturers to justice, maybe someone else will.

Waterboarding is the same as beheading in your eyes? How about ill agree to get waterboarded if you agree to get beheaded?
 
So interviewing key witnesses isnt necessary, you would make an awesome judge, well until they they threw you in prison

We have their words already. And we have the results. Objectively there is little else they can add.
 
So? Slaps on the wrist compared to what they do to us.

Let me put it context.

The terrorists use torture.

If we use the same indifference to humanity as the terrorists do, we are essentially no better then the enemy we are fighting.

In fact we are worse by claiming we represent the best of humanity.
 
Humanity.

Truth.

You can't appease humanity. And it sounds like you're looking for people who were ordered to do something pay a price. I'm not sure I agree with you. And the enhanced interrogation techniques were stopped years ago.

Note also that the Democrats refused to allow the minority report be released. I wonder why?

We dont have their words because we dont have them under oath answering specific questions.

It is the same indifference to humanity that matters.

At least ISIS is honest in what it uses its methods for.

We try to bull**** ourselves into believing that torture is somehow not a an act of cruelty.

Calling what the US does "torture" is like calling your walk to your front porch a marathon.

Then I guess they should have been asked so their reply could have been put into the record for the report.

So is that a no to my offer?

You are on fire today.

The report didn't call it "torture". Feinstein did not call it "torture". Why are you contradicting the report?
 
Senate panel releases scathing report on CIA interrogation amid warnings of backlash | Fox News

A Democrat-led Senate panel released a scathing report Tuesday on CIA interrogation practices amid warnings from lawmakers and some within the Obama administration that the findings could "endanger the lives of Americans" all over the world.

Ah, the left. Politics above all.



Left?

How is a JOINT report of Democrats AND Republicans, who are right leftist?

That is so much vacuous bull**** and spin the reason the inept dolts in the Republican party cannot get the best of the worst president in modern history.

Abuse and torture is neither left nor right, it's simply barbarian

The report, from the Senate intelligence committee, claimed the interrogation techniques used were "brutal and far worse" than the CIA represented to lawmakers. Further, the report claimed the tactics were not effective and the spy agency gave "inaccurate" information about it to Congress and the White House. The report called CIA management of the program "deeply flawed" -- though agency officials have staunchly defended the program and credited it with helping track down Usama bin Laden and other terror leaders.

Yeah, go ahead ignore all that. But realize you have been at war for nearly 15 years and the situation is worse than when you decided to "kill them if they run". 15 years and a few hundred thousand American lives lost with no end to the body bags anytime in my lifetime and likely yours and your kids and it's spreading and becoming more grotesque.

And how many Mahar Arars have there been? An innocent man systematically sodomized and tortured on a daily basis by America's "friends" in Syria after having been "renditioned" by the CIA. They had the wrong man.

But, it's OK, he isn't American, merely passing through JFK airport, and he was wasn't tortured by Americans, technically, so the CIA skates. But how many others never get rescued by the Canadian government? How many others have been scooped from their lives and beaten and raped for years for having a name Americans can't understand....and who become martyrs for the cause? How many like them formed ISIS?

It's OK though, just dismiss any and all criticism as "left".


You're worse than Obama's followers

People will die because of this.

Good God, why do Democrats hate this country, the military, and the CIA so much?
