The more I read the Senate torture report, the more it seems obvious its purpose is to excuse Feinstein's guilt in the program

@emptywheel Jose Rodriguez's op ed, while biased, is at least a teeny tiny shred of evidence http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/todays-cia-critics-once-urged-the-agency-to-do-anything-to-fight-al-qaeda/2014/12/05/ac418da2-7bda-11e4-84d4-7c896b90abdc_story.html … -
@ErrataRob Moreover, EVEN THE CIA doesn't claim Feinstein was briefed unti l9/6/2006. They have no record of Rockefeller being. -
@emptywheel I guess I have more reading to do. Though, it still seems terribly one-sided. -
@ErrataRob LOL. Again, this is based off the CIA's own docs. Not FBI. Not DOJ. Not SSCI. Not Pelosi. CIA's records say they did this. -
@emptywheel One side of the CIA's own records. It's not as if we get to see all of them. -
@ErrataRob Here's what I reported on the PUBLIC records, based off years-old releases. https://www.emptywheel.net/2014/04/02/cias-own-records-of-cias-lies-to-congress/ … -
@emptywheel are those records public? do you have a link to them? -
@ErrataRob Linked in post. Many were made available in redacted form in 2009-2010. IMVHO there are details SSCi doesn't hit fr public docs

@emptywheel@ErrataRob Did not Bush administration *publicise* it indirectly? (All torture regimes want to be known enough to spread fear) -
@guy_herbert DiFi can be faulted from Abu Ghraib, certainly. Tho even then, she had neither Chairmanship nor purse.@ErrataRob
