the senate did a thorough investigation into the CIA's
enhanced interrogation techniques is of course code word that the use for
torture
the the waterboarding at center now the CIA had been claiming all along a
wonderful technique it was in that it produced good results
well the Senate I did a report on found
knobs our results and again it was exhausted it took four years
to do this report a cost forty million dollars it's a sixty three hundred page
report
now it they were did all this cuz they want to be incredibly careful they went
through all the CIA files they talked all the CIA witnesses
they want to be fair to all sides and so can give us the evidence
present evidence to us about how that torture lead to
capturing bin Laden or capturing other terrorists right and
so the of course released a report right after for snow
not released why because the CIA's holding you back
it's about the CIA have a good view so let me explain
I McClatchy Newspapers wrote a terrific piece about this first the same
the report details how the CIA misled the Bush administration and Congress
by the use of interrogation techniques that many experts consider torture
according to the public statements by committee members so
apparently they misled the government even misled the Bush administration I
call you a port reorder
rocker all great evidence man right when in fact that wasn't the case
so I mcclatchy explains further
it also shows members have said how the techniques didn't provide intelligence
that led the CIA
to the hideout in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was killed in a 2011 raid by
Navy SEALs
sorry micah is your dark thirty Poli for crap
you want all that courtroom the beginning and that of high we broke the
guy in the look a week after bin Laden the CI we can I do those two things
those things are not connected the torture did not lead to the capture bin
Laden
it didn't work now let's get to the conflict in this case and why we haven't
seen the full report
the conflict over the committee's investigation hine last year
late last year when the committee discovered that a CIA internal review
confirming some other committee's findings
had been withheld from senate investigators the CIA had an internal
review
it turns out agrees with the senate report but then they came
and talk to the senate in public and said no it doesn't then they said okay
shows your internal review to look no we won't
well you just said Rick is says torture works so show it to us
nope we're not going to do that that's insanity the senate is
oversight over over the CIA you don't have that
option of not showing the Senate your aunt or report and the reason they
didn't show it
is because issues therefore crap now here comes the worst part
the criminal referral may be related to what
and the the Senate is asking for come over for referral what the CIA did
it may be related to what several knowledgeable people said was CIA
Mon or tearing of computers used by senate aids
to prepare the study I remember what they said about the NSA spying
well I mean I guess it could get bad one day
if you were to look pick up a No get political
and look into what politicians were doing hmm
that seems to be today look the CIA
apparently as the the Senate aids are preparing the study
and looking through the CIA materials in the CIA computers looked into what this
the Senate aides were doing they're looking at their computers they were
spying on
this spying in on the Senators houses look but national outrage
when we get out-reached mean we keep every part of this story
it turns out this spying on all Americans it turns out
that the GCHQ and cooperating with the NSA et cetera
is looking into people's webcams in capturing them but oftentimes nude
right there into your phone safe there into your web sex
there and everything and now they're spying on senators computers a Saturday
computers
now one day I guess it could get bad and then do in any case directly related to
that
in a soap for christ sake Wentworth report
mcclatchy explains you'd always wanted leading senators
democrat in this case who wants a published report also called on Obama to
strip the CIA of control over how much to the Senate Report
should be made my public the report remains class by nearly 15 months after
the panel approved the document
and turn it over to the agency for bed I like that
lovely piece %uh vir the people who get to decide whether the report
on the CIA's miserable failures can be made public is
this CIA by the way the person would overrule them of course is Barack Obama
you just simply say okay you had a chance to bed
now turn me to whatever you show me what you think is top secret
and then turn it over to the public as a supposed to be
and what is the white house soon by the way they're siding with the CIA
and against the scent could not remember Obama ran on changes so that he's gonna
change the torture policies a center
turns out there's a Senate report confirmed by internal CIA report
this is the tortured in work and the guy who's helping the CIA black the report
is President Obama
change you can believe in
