Again you have to look at the political context, Feinstein is releasing it now because in january the Republicans take over and she loses the spotlight. I perused both the Democratic main report and the Republican minority report, impossible to read completely since it is close to 1,000 pages, but as usual the Democrats and the Press are sensationalizing the issue.
example:
-main report/Press report that EITs are useless and yielded no useful info, yet the minority report points out several instances where EITs yielded valuable info leading to arrest of top Al Qaida suspects and foiling terrorist plots.
-main report/Press report that the CIA lied to the WH and kept info secret. As the min report points out, the CIA always acted under direct orders from WH and top WH officials were kept fully informed. Even the top Congressional leaders were briefed!
-what is most interesting is that EITs were only used for a short period of time, apparently "waterboarding" was only used for a few months in 2002-03 and only on 3 individuals.
