is the single greatest hit job on the c.i.a. since the publication by philip agee of inside the company in the 1960s and he was work for the cubans. was it ineffective as senator feinstein is saying? were these tactics, were they ineffective? i disagree completely with the findings with senator feinstein. this allowed the c.i.a. to take out the second tier of al-qaeda because you have to remember, after 9-11, bin laden and fellow herery went underground and the second tier were the individuals attempt to go plan and execute catastrophic attacks and the united states suffered no follow on catastrophic attack because of this program. sure. when you look at the report, there is no context. remember back then, we had already lost 3,000 americans. we thought that there was going to be another wave and in fact, there is evidence that they were planning lots more attacks on the united states. we were just trying to do something. the president directed the c.i.a., go out there and stop s
deprivation and death threats. senate democrats release a scathing reports on c.i.a. interrogation tactics after 9/11 but former c.i.a. agents say the message saved lives. peter doocy is live in washington. peter, is there worry trerts could use this report to terrorists could use this report to hurt us? social media is being monitored for propaganda about this report. there is a warning that terrorists here in the united states or abroad may use the details in this 6,000-plus page long report. this comes as some in the intel have new and specific concerns for c.i.a. personnel abroad. now you have a caseworker working in a very dangerous place in the world who expects that the united states is going to stand with them because we ve asked them to do very hard and difficult things
interrogation report. we have jonathan gruber testifies yesterday did he actually explain himself in calling all of us stupid we will explain that and bring you the highlights. he was a contestant on celebrity prantis ian ziering. we will have one with a simulator. we will be joined with kimberly slatman of little big down stow will stop by. how to spoil your pet this holiday season. please put them outside during that segment you don t wantruin. throw in the animation go back to commercial. i will be back soon.
c.i.a. have come out in an op-ed this morning and said it is not true. we ve uncovered critically important attacks against the united states of america because of this program. it was information out of this program that led us to al qaeda leaders, including osama bin laden, that allowed us to take them off the battle field and that enabled us to go back again and again and again to people like abu zubeydah to get information about al qaeda. over a quarter of the 1700 footnotes in the 9/11 commission report comes from information from detainees. what senator feinstein did yesterday on the floor of the senate was, frankly, a really sad end to what has been a long career in the united states senate. but it was a disgrace. it s unbelievable because she does not profile that way. she was someone who took on this administration when she thought they were jeopardizing our security. something switched on her. her own c.i.a. director, or president obama s own c.i.a. director was angry about
families. that s coming up this hour. thank you for joining us. in the meantime, we start with a fox news alert. well, it is one sided. it s from the democrats in the senate and it is about the c.i.a. and it s essentially bags the c.i.a. that came out yesterday. now we re learning from the f.b.i. that they have issued a bulletin to local, state and federal authorities, be on the lookout. this thing might have angered some lone wolves out there. there could be trouble now that the democrats have released this report. that s why senator feinstein has to sleep at night because she felt it absolutely had to come out. not only to the intel committee, not only to the entire senate, not only to the u.s., but the entire world because according to the vice president of the united states, we re such a great country, we can admit our mistakes. but a loft people don t think the word mistake belongs in describing what the c.i.a. did after 9-11. the $40 million report, 6,000 pages. brian, i wa
