The Official Senate Report on CIA Torture: Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency?s Detention and Interrogation Program

A crying national shame from beginning to end. If you want to continue wearing blinders concerning the Bush-Cheney era, this book isn't for you.

Sen. McCain says every American should know what was done in our name. He's right.

This book is not a page turner in the sense of well written novel. This book gives a cold hard look at the depraved underbelly of our federal government. A factual and dispassionate narrative of the programs that went into effect after 9/11. I don't agree with senator McCain on many things but the story needs to be told. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions", is so painfully true here as we bear witness the atrocities committed in our name. This book does not cause me to love my country any less. I will keep it as conscious reminder how quickly things can change for the worse. To anyone that seeks to justify these deeds, just remember that if these things can be done to ' those people' it can be done to you. I will pass it on to my sons so that will have a chance to learn the truth, ugly as it might be, and never forget this dark period in our civilization.

I thought that this would be an 8.5 by 11 inch book, just like the Joint Inquiry 9/11 Report. Instead, it is a 6 by 9 inch book, and as a result the print is VERY VERY tiny. I will have to read the text with a magnifying glass, and the footnotes, which are even smaller (!), I will probably not be able to read at all. What is in the mind of publishers who are so miserly that they decided to print books with such tiny, cramped print? It is really stupid to make a book so difficult to read!

it's official, but it's so heavily redacted that the reader can only get a cursory idea of what was going on over there

Tedious, more of a catalog than story and you can download it for free.

At least a third of the book focuses on further reference or sources for how the book was written. A lot of jargon used in it too. Nonetheless pretty interesting to hear of how these detainees were treated. In all cases quite compelling but not quite surprising. Interesting to link up with this current President's talk of reviving the DIP and know what exactly would be brought back. EIT not being anything of a new concept anyways.

I really get butthurt by the extortionate prices the us government wants for its reports. Pity I need the info.
