The report is the most detailed independent examination to date of the agency’s efforts to “break” dozens of detainees through physical and psychological duress, a period of CIA history that has become a source of renewed controversy because of torture scenes in a forthcoming Hollywood film, “Zero Dark Thirty.”
Officials familiar with the report said it makes a detailed case that subjecting prisoners to “enhanced” interrogation techniques did not help the CIA find Osama bin Laden and often were counterproductive in the broader campaign against al-Qaeda.

In other news, the guy who reported illegal CIA torture gets sent to prison while the people who performed the illegal torture escape scot free.
John Kirakou gets a luxury send off from his many friends and supporters.
This guy is a patriot - the guys who are sending him to prison are not.
The first duty of a patriot is to question your own government and make them accountable for any wrong doing or misbehavior.
