In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning.

Eh, then again, maybe not.

Funny, isn't it, that the GOP thinks the (fallacious) "torture worked" argument is sufficient to answer all arguments. But then, I wonder how many soi-disant Dems agree with them?

"handed another recruiting tool and excuse to target" Americans.

The torture was committed, the report merely admits what everyone but the most partisan or dense republicans already know - it happened!

If anything, the report demonstrates that not ALL Americans, indeed very few Americans, support this torture.

ISIS knows we tortured Sunnis in Iraq, this isn't news to them. Bringing out the report actually defuses some of their anger, but guess he doesn't want that to happen either. After all, the Repug party line is All War All the Time.

He was a POW and was tortured. He opposes the US using it as much as I do.

I was reading the comment from Coryn in TX and for some reason wrote McCain instead? Probably just habit from bashing his all war all the time efforts. You are right, that on the topic of torture, he's actually on the moral side having experienced it himself.

Sorry about that. I was probably multi-tasking again, you'd think I'd know better by now, sigh.

what else could be expected of these clowns. Inconvenient truth is discomfiting.

done to the American public than what our intelligence field has done in our name and with our hard-earned tax dollars.

If ever there was a rogue agency fraudulently imitating the name of "Americans" it is the CIA. The agency itself is as prestigious as a $5 Birkin bag.

And we fund this bullshit, instead of keeping people off of the street, educating children and caring for our elders.

There's an equally fraudulent entity pulling the same sleight of hand on Americans - it's known as the GOP

the Democratic party isn't as knee deep with the CIA and "intelligence" groups as the GOP.

I don't make those assumptions anymore, because I have been proven wrong to think one party has cleaner hands than the other with regards to covering up what the NSA, CIA, DHS, et. al, are doing.

You own this and you should be reminded everyday how you support a war criminal and his band of merry men and women that have now placed our citizens in a unattainable position, in the military and out of the military even when we travel anywhere in this WORLD, we represent this Country and if you cannot see or understand that logic, then you and your right wing hypocrites should resign your position from office----leave, go back under your right wing rock.

Because if you are captured the same methods could be used on you as reprisal.

If they were really concerned, they would stop recommending having them fight pointless imperialist wars for oil when it would be cheaper and easier to develop renewable energy and phase out the use of fossil fuel altogether.

Any one who says otherwise is either a fool or has been bribed by the Koch brothers and the rest of the pollution lobby.
