I do not believe that Mr. Summers is really concerned that the stereotype “Ivan” and his colleagues will have learned anything about torture. This leads to the conclusion that Mr. Summers thinks it is OK to do whatever is included in the “Interrogation Report”, but it is very wrong to talk about it in public.Many people do not want this country to torture. Period.So far, it appears that what was done gained no vital knowledge which provided for any increase in our security.
d_legendary1; you obviously don’t understand that no program or aspect of a budget in the intelligence community gets funded until the SSCI, and Feinstein in particular, knows how all of that money is going to be spent. Her statements about not knowing are just lies.
Summers wins the prize for most ridiculous spin on this story. Well, stuff that’s been known for over a decade? Hmm, is that Scooter Libby sidling up to “Ivan”??
Then legendary, explain to me what business a bookkeeper has doing this sort of investigation in the first place. If it’s not in the scope of her authority to manage the behavior of the agency, why is she the one in charge of the witch hunt? Why is the SSCI writing and publishing this report? Why are they the ones to do the investigation in the first place? You are contradicting yourself!

The traitors are those who defend the torturers who have betrayed our nation’s ideals. Turn yourself in, Dana.
