Senator Feinstein is correct the report needs to be released now.

Why would anyone believe if the report wasn't released it would circumvent violence? That is ridiculous. If the facts are known there are leaders that can assure the truth of the report or not. Many of these activities were conducted overseas without the consent of foreign leaders. The reason the torture took place was because the USA CIA could conduct it, not that it should conduct it. The Black Sites are USA not any foreign government. The jails may have been considered torture, but, no more than the sponsoring government conducted.

I cannot believe the people most in question in the USA are actually going to be able to oppress the report.

Secretary of State John Kerry (click here) personally phoned Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Friday morning to ask her to delay the imminent release of her committee’s report on CIA torture and rendition during the George W. Bush administration, according to administration and Congressional officials.

Kerry was not going rogue -- his call came after an interagency process that decided the release of the report early next week, as Feinstein had been planning,  could complicate relationships with foreign countries at a sensitive time and posed an unacceptable risk to U.S. personnel and facilities abroad.  Kerry told Feinstein he still supports releasing the report, just not right now.

“What he raised was timing of report release, because a lot is going on in the world -- including parts of the world particularly implicated -- and wanting to make sure foreign policy implications were being appropriately factored into timing,” an administration official told me.  "He had a responsibility to do so because this isn’t just an intel issue -- it’s a foreign policy issue."...

If these reports are not released now they could be censored forever and/or destroyed. Such antics have existed in the federal government before. Secretary Kerry needs to move any embassy staff ahead of the release if he believes the embassy cannot be defended. Harm will come anyway no matter the decision. It is foolish to believe otherwise.
