(Reuters) - The CIA misled the White House and public about its torture of detainees after the Sept. 11 attacks and acted more brutally and pervasively than it acknowledged, a U.S. Senate report said on Tuesday, drawing calls to prosecute American officials.

The Senate Intelligence Committee's five-year review of 6.3 million pages of CIA documents concluded that the intelligence agency failed to disrupt a single plot despite torturing al Qaeda and other captives in secret facilities worldwide between 2002 and 2006, when George W. Bush was president.

The CIA interrogation program was devised by two agency contractors to squeeze information from suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The interrogations took place in countries that included Afghanistan, Poland and Romania.

Some captives were deprived of sleep for up to 180 hours, at times with their hands shackled above their heads, and the report recorded cases of simulated drowning or "waterboarding" and sexual abuse, including "rectal feeding" or "rectal hydration" without any documented medical need.

The CIA dismissed the findings, saying its interrogations secured valuable information. Many Republicans criticized the decision by Democratic lawmakers to release the report, which was put together by the committee's Democratic majority, saying it would put Americans at risk.

No. The only thing clear is that you have no clue as to what an unbiased news report looks like.

You quoted this in bold, "the report, which was put together by the committee's Democratic majority" as if you are not agreeing with that particular statement.

If that is incorrect, that must mean you believe the report was done by the committee's Republican majority. Do you want to take that back?

What this unbiased report does is give both sides of the story. It tells of key findings in the report and also the CIA's assessment of the report.

We need to get in touch with the DNC about the timing on this report. Obviously, we should have released it BEFORE the elections.

BBC News - Police killings NY calls for independent inquiries

8 December 2014 Last updated at 14:33 ET
Police killings: NY calls for independent inquiries

New York's attorney general has asked the governor for the power to investigate and prosecute local police killings of unarmed civilians.​

Eric Schneiderman said independent reviews of such cases would "restore trust" in the justice system.

Meanwhile, the family of an Ohio boy, 12, killed by police last month have called for the officer to face trial.

Protests against police killings of unarmed black men continued on Sunday, but turned violent in California.

Others demonstrations, including in Miami, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and New York City, were peaceful.

Protesters have been angered by the deaths, including those of Eric Garner, killed in a chokehold in New York, and Michael Brown, who was shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson.

In both cases grand juries decided not to press criminal charges against the white police officers responsible.

"The horrible events surrounding the death of Eric Garner have revealed a deep crisis of confidence in some of the fundamental elements of our criminal justice system," Mr Schneiderman said in a statement.

The New York attorney general has asked Governor Cuomo to sign an executive order putting his office in charge of investigating such deaths.

"A common thread in many of these cases is the belief of the victim's family and others that the investigation of the death, and the decision whether to prosecute, have been improperly and unfairly influenced by the close working relationship between the county district attorney and the police officers he or she works with and depends on every day," the statement continued.

Mr Schneiderman said he had no doubt that the "overwhelming majority" of local prosecutors are "conscientious about our ethical duty to see that justice is done in every case" but said it was a matter of public confidence.

Also on Monday, US Attorney General Eric Holder announced new guidelines banning law enforcement from racial profiling - the use by police of race as a factor in their decisions.

The protocol, which updates a previous version of the guidelines, will require federal agencies to provide training and collect data on profiling complaints.

The mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot and killed on 22 November by a Cleveland, Ohio, police officer, spoke publicly for the first time on Monday.

Samaria Rice said her son, Tamir, was a "bright child" with a "promising future" who helped out at school.

Rice, who was holding a toy gun, was shot twice and later died in hospital.

Police had responded to an emergency call about someone with a gun near a playground. CCTV video of the area released by police shows Tamir was shot within seconds of a police vehicle stopping nearby.

A lawyer for the family was "very distrustful" of local authorities' ability to bring charges against police. Ms Rice said she would like to see the officer convicted for her son's death.

Protests against police killings continued on Sunday, although a peaceful march from Berkeley towards neighbouring Oakland turned violent during the evening.

Some started vandalising local businesses, smashing shop windows, lobbing bottles and setting dustbins on fire.

One person was hit with a hammer in Berkeley trying to stop another protestor vandalising a shop.

In Oakland, demonstrators flooded a highway, throwing rocks at police who responded with tear gas.

Protesters on the highway at Oakland tried to set a patrol vehicle on fire, according to the California Highway police.

Five people were arrested in connection with the demonstrations and two officers were injured.

Article quoted families and lawyers, but no comments from police. Of course, Holder had to chime in with race baiting even though that has not been established. They called them 'police killings' while leaving out any facts that would allow the reader to form their own opinion. They also say protests of police killings of unarmed black men continue, as if the protests are necessary. Brown was charging the officer, but no mention of that.

If they want to report, they should give all known facts.

Okay, here's two articles from the left's 'favorite'. FOX News. So, quote the bias in both of them.



---------------------

The IRS paid more than $6 billion in child tax credits in 2013 to people who were not eligible to receive them, a government watchdog said Tuesday.

Payments went to families that mistakenly claimed the tax credit or claimed the wrong amount, as well as taxpayers who committed fraud, according to an audit by J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The once-championed way to help low-income working families is now facing problems with how it is ran.

The 2009 economic stimulus package temporarily expanded the credit to more families that don't make enough money to pay federal income tax. The expanded credit expires at the end of 2017.

These families receive the $1,000-per-child credit in the form of a tax refund. The report focus on payments to these families.

The IRS has said the risk is low for improper payments related to the child tax credit. The report says that assessment is incorrect.

"It is imperative that the IRS take action to identify and address all of its programs that are at high risk for improper payments," George said in a statement.

In a statement, the IRS aid it "continues to aggressively explore new ways to detect and stop potentially fraudulent claims while maximizing the use of limited compliance resources."

However, the agency said budget cuts are hurting compliance efforts.

"IRS funding limitations severely hamper our efforts on these and other compliance areas," the agency statement said. "Since 2010, the IRS budget has been reduced by $850 million and we have 13,000 fewer employees."

Earlier this year, the IRS said fewer agents are auditing tax returns than at any time since at least the 1980s.

More than 36 million families claimed about $57 billion in child tax credits in 2013, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.

The inspector general's report estimates that taxpayers improperly claimed between $5.9 billion and $7.1 billion in child tax credits that year. The report, however, does distinguish between fraud and credits that were claimed by mistake.

The report was ready months before the election. It was only delayed because the CIA wanted parts of it redacted. Blame the CIA for the timing of the release of the report.

It was approved and voted on in 2012 ... Try again!

"Both Republicans and former CIA officials will challenge the report's accuracy. Just one Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, joined Democrats in voting to approve it in 2012. The ranking Republican on the committee, Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, said when the report was approved in 2012 that, "a number of significant errors, omissions, assumptions, and ambiguities--as well as a lot of cherry-picking--were found that call the conclusions into question," partially because it was written without conducting interviews with people involved."



.

Redaction was completed in April of this year ... I already quoted a link as to when it was approved by Congress. The Administration decided to release it this week because if they didn't it would never have been released. The only reason they released it now is because Democrats still control that committee ... And won't after this week.

If you care to disagree ... You provide a link ... You chose to respond to the comment I posed earlier which had nothing to do with a link ... Do your own leg-work.

.

You failed to provide a link for your quote that the report was approved in 2012. If you cannot provide the linked source then you could have invented that quote and are pretending that it exists. The onus is on the person who posted the quote to substantiate it when called upon to do so. If you don't then you place your own credibility in jeopardy. Your choice.

And no, you haven't provided anything to prove that "Redaction was completed in April of this year" either.

Compare that to the quoted wording from the IRS itself;

"Payments went to families that mistakenly claimed the tax credit or claimed the wrong amount, as well as taxpayers who committed fraud,"

Families made mistakes but FoxNews alleges those mistakes were "bogus".

Senator Snowe voted with the majority to release the report. Your attempt to paint this as partisan failed.

Olympia Snowe? You're kidding right? She was a Republican in name only, a version of JakeSnarky. Your attempt to paint this as bipartisan has failed. Snowe voted roughly 68% of the time with her party. So, not exactly a Republican now is she? Roughly 1/4 of her votes were with the Democrats.

Olympia Snowe former U.S. Senator for Maine - GovTrack.us

Olympia Snowe - U.S. Congress Votes Database - The Washington Post

Do a little research before you lecture me.

Also, Snow was the ONLY Republican to vote for the investigation in 2012. The original vote in 2009 was bipartisan, however. Nice of you to blow this out of context, which is on par for you. Just because one Republican voted with the majority does not make it bipartisan.

The vote this past Thursday was 11-3. And since Democrats hold the majority in the Intelligence Committee, even if the three that voted with the Democrats had voted against, the vote would be 8-6, if all 7 Republicans voted against it, it would have been 8-7. So it wouldn't have mattered one way or another how they voted. The report was coming whether the Republicans liked it or not. Hence, partisan.

Okay, here's two articles from the left's 'favorite'. FOX News. So, quote the bias in both of them.



---------------------

The IRS paid more than $6 billion in child tax credits in 2013 to people who were not eligible to receive them, a government watchdog said Tuesday.

Payments went to families that mistakenly claimed the tax credit or claimed the wrong amount, as well as taxpayers who committed fraud, according to an audit by J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The once-championed way to help low-income working families is now facing problems with how it is ran.

The 2009 economic stimulus package temporarily expanded the credit to more families that don't make enough money to pay federal income tax. The expanded credit expires at the end of 2017.

These families receive the $1,000-per-child credit in the form of a tax refund. The report focus on payments to these families.

The IRS has said the risk is low for improper payments related to the child tax credit. The report says that assessment is incorrect.

"It is imperative that the IRS take action to identify and address all of its programs that are at high risk for improper payments," George said in a statement.

In a statement, the IRS aid it "continues to aggressively explore new ways to detect and stop potentially fraudulent claims while maximizing the use of limited compliance resources."

However, the agency said budget cuts are hurting compliance efforts.

"IRS funding limitations severely hamper our efforts on these and other compliance areas," the agency statement said. "Since 2010, the IRS budget has been reduced by $850 million and we have 13,000 fewer employees."

Earlier this year, the IRS said fewer agents are auditing tax returns than at any time since at least the 1980s.

More than 36 million families claimed about $57 billion in child tax credits in 2013, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.

The inspector general's report estimates that taxpayers improperly claimed between $5.9 billion and $7.1 billion in child tax credits that year. The report, however, does distinguish between fraud and credits that were claimed by mistake.

Let's use the rightwing standard for what counts as bias, shall we?

Here is how Foxnews titled it's article and worded the URL;

watchdog-irs-paid-6-billion-in-bogus-child-tax-credits/

Watchdog: IRS paid $6 billion in bogus child tax credits

Compare that to the quoted wording from the IRS itself;

"Payments went to families that mistakenly claimed the tax credit or claimed the wrong amount, as well as taxpayers who committed fraud,"

Families made mistakes but FoxNews alleges those mistakes were "bogus".

Wow. Perhaps you should learn to read the article itself. In it, you will see that it is not what you purport it to be. This was such an obvious attempt at selective quoting. The cherry tree has been picked clean, Derideo.

"Payments went to families that mistakenly claimed the tax credit or claimed the wrong amount, as well as taxpayers who committed fraud, according to an audit by J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration."

As you can see, what you quoted was a recitation from an audit performed by J. Russell George, not an opinion of Fox News.
