Attacks. dick cheney called the senate report a crock and was slammed today by the white house. >> he also predicted that american troops would be welcomed as liberators in iraq so hes got a not particularly strong track record when it comes to articulating the policies that this president believes is in the best interests of the country. >> spokesman josh -- though a psychologist known as the architect of the cias enhanced interrogations told vice news, using those tactics on 39 detainees pal...

The world. >> theres no good time something like this. >> senator feinstein gave credit where credit is due including the man who started what eventually became senator feinsteins investigation. >> first, i thank senator rockefeller. he started this project by directing his staff to review the operational cables that describe the first recorded interrogations after we learned that the videotapes of those sessions had been destroyed. and that report was what led to this multiyear investigation. w...
