Oh, so now the public's right to know is suddenly trumped by the perceived embarrassment it might cause the Republicans. Now that's funny!
Yeah, when someone blows up an embassy because Diane got her knickers in a knot, you laugh hilariously. K?
So reaction to the failings of the Bush administration will be someone else's fault? Frikin' amazing!
There are some idiots who don't understand three little but powerful words that protect our military and CIA operatives. Those three words are: NEED TO KNOW. We can inform the people necessary to govern and protect whatever is necessary to accomplish such. The whole world and general public do not need to be privy to all information. Some of it, in the past, could have gotten me and many comrades killed.
Then tell us idiots what we need to know and also who will be the one to determine what we the public need to know. Why should we not hold ourselves to the same standard of disclosure we demand of other nations? It seems Republicans now want to engage in history denial along with their science denial obsession.
How partisan is this really? McCain defends the report.

I agree with McCain on a lot, just not this one. I don't see where it adds any value to anything. Except for political grand standing. Something at which Senator McCain is quite skilled.
"The United States is committed to the worldwide elimination of torture, and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture."

George W. Bush - June 26, 2003
The torture argument has been water boarded enough over the years. I have better things to do than argue the definition with someone who will certainly disagree with my view.
The purpose of releasing this report now is political theater. Maybe a chance for McCain to take one more jab at Bush. He has never forgiven the Bush camp for those nasty phone calls many years ago in SC the night before the primary.
