What won't be discussed when the torture report summary is released next week
1) The fact that CIA officials obstructed al Qaeda investigations before 9/11. The obstruction took place at the same time as panicked CIA officials gave the White House urgent warnings of a possible al Qaeda attack.
2) The fact that 28 pages of the 9/11 Joint Inquiry report which detail foreign support for the hijackers are still classified.
These aspects of 9/11 have everything in the world to do with the CIA torture program. It is not credible at all for government officials to claim they had to resort to torture when they were covering up direct leads to the hijackers before and after the attacks. The mainstream US media will not report on these two issues which would put the torture report in a completely different context. Perhaps because these two issues completely contradict the notion of a good faith desperate effort to prevent follow up attacks.
We are told the Senate report will provide evidence that the torture program produced no useful intelligence. Why would the White House and the CIA implement a nasty program that failed to work as advertised? Maybe they did so mainly for propaganda reasons (i.e. to appear "tough on terror" .
