In every war it is known a number of people fighting it lose their sense of direction and go off the reservation embarrassing their fellow countrymen. These should by all means face the consequences for their actions.

But what blows my mind is the very same names and politicians busting on the CIA for what I believe are a few loose cannons are the same ones who think it their solemn duty to launch drone strikes which have killed more than suspected terrorists.

We are in a world of (poop)

The reason is that this torture issue is very much political issue in USA and not only... and some people need promotions while others don't want to get fired or put on trial.
I believe it is similar case with this report , while it may be correct in the context it was written it is not entirely accurate and objective on the issue.
It very much serves ideology of current administration.
Not that I personally justify mass torture , the USA as it seems lost the proportions a bit.

Such statements are entirely bogus, of course. All of them presuppose that torture works. There's never any argument to the effect that the torture subject will happily feed you a diet of red herrings for a few hours that will actually divert resources away from finding the bomb.....

Again... the issue is about the portability of acquiring information.
I believe that the people who do this kind of stuff are not less smart that you and take certain things into consideration -including goose chase.
What do you mean by wasting resources?

I read the report and I do understand this is simply political hay at others expense, namely at the expense of an entire agency and country. It's the hypocrisy that on one hand they publically blame an entire agency for the misdeeds of a few. Then turn right around launch a drone against 'suspected' terrorist targets killing them and their wives and children as well. And have the audacity to tell me it was their solemn duty to so.

The report didn't have jack-squat to do with the good of the nation, it wasn't for justice, or for better regulations. It is just simply good ol' fashioned divisiveness.
