Among other controversial conclusions, the report has found that the CIA?s "enhanced interrogation techniques? were not effective in acquiring intelligence to avert terrorist threats.

The Senate report delivers a scathing, shocking, and controversial judgment, and gives us much to think about in terms of our longstanding position on freedom, democracy, dignity, and human rights.…
