Today, the Senate Intelligence Committee is sending the White House its six-year investigation of CIA interrogation practices, and the results look like bad news for the nations intelligence agency. According to a McClatchy report, the committee has concluded that the agency illegally detained 26 people in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and subjected them to much more brutal interrogation tactics than were previously known. The agency also repeatedly stymied any attempts at oversight, whether from the White House, Congress or the Department of Justice. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) said the techniques could be considered torture, and should not be used again by the United States.
