And Dick Cheney says that if he had to do it over again, he'd still choose to torture people. We can all hope that in Cheney's case, Dante was right about the Nine Circles of Hell.

Senate Report: CIA Lied Repeatedly About Its Interrogation Program
By Margaret Hartmann Today at 2:25 AM

For years the CIA has been feuding with the Senate Intelligence Committee over its report on Bush-era "enhanced interrogation techniques" and now we know why. While the 6,300-page report remains classified, on Monday U.S. officials described its contents in detail to the Washington Post. The report concludes that the CIA routinely misled members of Congress and the public by suggesting detainees gave up key information due to the use of those brutal techniques, when they had actually talked before the interrogation.

"The CIA described [its program] repeatedly both to the Department of Justice and eventually to Congress as getting unique, otherwise unobtainable intelligence that helped disrupt terrorist plots and save thousands of lives," said one U.S. official. "Was that actually true? The answer is no."
