The Senate Intelligence Committee's "report" on the CIA's post 9/11 interrogation activities was authored solely by the Committee's Democratic staff members and issued by its Democratic senators - so much for bipartisanship. In actuality it was a hit piece to position the Dems for 2016 and to draw attention from Jonathan "the American people are stupid" Gruber's testimony about how the Dems passed Obamacare, e.g. - they lied big time.
Putting the lie to what they are trying to do with this "report" all previous CIA directors have publicly come out and said that much of the report simply isn't true and very valuable intelligence data was obtained from high-value prisoners that kept the U.S. from getting hit again by follow-on 9/11 attacks. Even President Obama's current CIA Director, John Brennan, agreed in an extraordinary press conference at the CIA that this was so:
I have been impressed in the past that Sen. Feinstein, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has taken issue with the Obama Administration on national security issues when she believed that what was being proposed jeopardized American's security. This, however, is a cheap political stunt that ranks with the worst that this Administration has pulled and it has pulled a series of gigantic stinkers. It is easy to be armchair Monday-morning quarterbacks on intelligence matters, but when solid intelligence is coming in about a nuke hit on D.C., dropping 10 airliners in mid-flight over the Atlantic, or a CBW strike in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip or New York, I bet they will be the first to give a panicky go-ahead with "enhanced" interrogation techniques on any high-value prisoners who are connected - and then knife the intelligence community after the fact. Disgusting. We are being led by a bunch of pygmy weasels.
