My opinion is that the Senate Intelligence Committee thru Senator Feinstein's eagerness to get revenge has done an injustice to those in the CIA and the United States. My concern is that if she was such an honorable person why did she wait to now to ensure that this report was released?

If it was up to me there would be large swaths of the middle east that would be glowing on the dark. They said 'no war for oil', well we didn't get any oil out of the deal. The Iraqi government gave those contracts to China. It should have been scorched earth baby! They didn't have anything as far as natural resources until we went there and developed these vast oil fields. We should have turned that place into GLASS as we left.

You've just had the blinder pulled off your eyes, and you don't like what you see!! The negative consequences for being blind over the past 40 will begin to reveal themselves shortly, and then what will you do?

Have the politicians and the media forgotten the tragedies that have occurred in the past 13 to 14 years? We've lost countless innocent people due terrorist actions. And the response by our leaders has been disgraceful. The CIA report should not have been released. Fight FIRE WITH FIRE. We should not allow any terrorist actions to go unpunished.

Bush and Chaney are the ones who should be held accountable for all of the deaths and maiming of our military. They invaded a sovereign country regardless of how they govern their country.

I agree with you Bill. There is no declared war. Who are we fighting & why? Billions get wasted with NO benefit to America or Americans. Fighting for America's freedoms is BS. Since when, in war, do you blow things up then have to pay to rebuild it. America loses men and bullions of dollars while bankers, oil companies, arms manufacturers and friends of politicians make fortunes. Sounds stupid to me. Bring our troops and money home & who gives a crap what the other side of the globe does.
George Washington said to stay out of foreign entanglements. I'm with George because this sure isn't working. America first!
THNK YOU SO MUCH Milt. I am
THNK YOU SO MUCH Milt. I am sickened by the mindset of most of the people on this line. Please read George Washington's thoughts on torture. Also I once read of a German interrogator that just walked and talked with POW'S that gained more information then the Gestapo ever did with their torture. McCain is NO traitor he was just telling it as he saw it from a REAL POW's point of view. Not to mention most of you who condoned the torture or "enhanced interrogation" probably consider yourselves as Christians - Well show me in the bible where it says torture is ok. We MUST be better than our enemy or our cause is lost.
Amen!
Amen!
Apparently whoever made up
Apparently whoever made up the questions doesn't know the difference between interrogation and torture. I am all for continued interrogation, and against torture.
Agreed Bill - interrogation -
Agreed Bill - interrogation - NOT torture.
Are we ever going to return
Are we ever going to return to being the strongest and most respected nation in the World? We haven't won a war since 1945. Our Government releases too much information to the media, and as a result too many conflicts occur. Have the politicians and the media forgotten the tragedies that have occurred in the past 13 to 14 years? We've lost countless innocent people due terrorist actions. And the response by our leaders has been disgraceful. The CIA report should not have been released. Fight FIRE WITH FIRE. We should not allow any terrorist actions to go unpunished. Get rid of the ACLU; that organization has done more damage to our country and our principles than some of our enemies.
The report was a total waste
The report was a total waste of taxpayers' money. A partisan hatchet job! As far as I know, water boarding never killed or permanently maimed anyone under our auspices (unlike BHO's drones). I believe we received actionable intelligence from the practices CIA employed on known terrorists.
It seems some people forget,
It seems some people forget,"In war there is no substitute for victory" (Thank you, Douglas McArthur). But why haven't we declared war on all terrorists and their supporters?
Bud Jay - Don't forget that
Bud Jay - Don't forget that McArthur was fired for cause - Insubordination
The old adage "You catch more
The old adage "You catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar" still holds true. More would be gained by showing these terrorists the era of their ways than with torturing them. If you disagree, I understand that you don't understand human dignity.
The Congress should have kept
The Congress should have kept their mouths shut on the torture done at Gitmo. That info provides impetus for our enemy to apply inhumane treatment to our soldiers. When will our "esteemed" representatives question first what will ensue once the info they have, right or wrong, may happen to our soldiers and allies? Bush and Chaney are the ones who should be held accountable for all of the deaths and maiming of our military. They invaded a sovereign country regardless of how they govern their country. Iraq was no threat to us. The American people were duped. by Washington. That is also what happened in Vietnam.
If we leave it up to most of
If we leave it up to most of the members of our government they along with the president would be inviting the terrorists to the white house for a steak dinner and open discussion. This report never should have come out. The more we patronize the terrorists and keep on putting them on the front page of the news and at the top of our tv news reports the more they love it. They are murderers plain and simple. They torture and then when you refuse to conform to their beliefs they kill you in mass numbers. If not that they threaten you and then decapitate you and create of video of it for all to see. Wake up America before it is to late if it is not already. GOD BLESS THE USA.
Difficult times call for
Difficult times call for extraordinary measures.
However, many American rights were trampled on by Bush/ Chaney.
Having said that, I was with Bush right up until he and, Cheney created the SNAFU called Iraq and, "Operation IraqI Oil."
For NEVER having served the military, Cheney is sure a HAWK with other peoples lives and, a war profiteer to boot. He's not worth a xxxx.
I believe one senator war
I believe one senator war prisoner of word in Viet Nan ask him how they treat him while he was in prison Ask other P.O.W It will be the same answer. I agree with Ed K. and for these reason all the sorry politician should serve in the Arm forces minimum of four years and if we do not have conflict send to Korea the D.M.Z
LETTING THIS INFO GO PUBLIC
LETTING THIS INFO GO PUBLIC MIGHT WELL PROVE DISASTROUS AS OUR ENEMIES HAVE ANOTHER EXCUSE TO DO WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING TO OUR PEOPLE ONLY N
OW ON A MUCH GREATER SCALE.
WERE IT UP TO ME, THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE WOULD BE IMPRISONED AS TRAITORS. AND I AM A DEMOCRAT.
AS FOR THOSE RAT BASTARDS, I WOULD TAKE A RAZOR BLADE TO THEIR DICKS AND MAKE THEM WATCH AS I SLICED IT FROM FRONT TO BACK.
This report is worthless. How
This report is worthless. How can you have an "investigative" report when you don't interview the people involved or the heads of the agency at the time?
Spineless weaklings........
Spineless weaklings........
Should all government
Should all government officials be water boarded, just to make sure they are on the American Public's side? After all they are in a position to cause more terror than most captured fighters could ever hope to. We have become a nation of cowards. The news makes us worried about everything, so afraid that we will torture mindlessly. I again say if we have the heart to torture suspected villains than wouldn't that include most of congress? Since we wouldn't want to torture them we shouldn't want to begin a process that might just take us there; if we start. We are better than that; I hope.

If that is the way Feinstein
If that is the way Feinstein feels about it, give her a M-16 and kill all the bastards.
That way she won't have to worry about torcher. Perhaps she will become a believer in enhanced interrogation, instead of our young men and women killed to make sure the terrorist are comfortable.

Tell me my friends, how many
Tell me my friends, how many bones were broken, how many heads chopped off, how many incapacitated, how many were denied medical treatment or starved. Stressed? yes. Injured? no. Then consider our enemy's tactics. All of the above.
