Torture News


Just released by the CIA, a list of Congressional Leaders who were briefed on enhanced interrogation techniques:

It appears that the entire Oversight Committee, including many of the Democratic leaders running congress today, should be prosecuted for their part in overseeing this torture.
President Obama has clean hands in this matter, since he was a mere state representative at the time. He didn't become a freshman Senator until after the initial briefings, and never had any clout during his brief career there. That may explain his naive manner in going after those he felt may be responsible.

I am wondering how MSNBC will spin this. Rachel? Keith?
