President Obama's Abysmal, Legacy-killing Response To The Cia Torture Report

In a remarkable coincidence, the government of Brazil released its own official torture report last week, only a few days after the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee published its findings on the CIA's use of torture during the Bush era. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff announced the results of the National Truth Commission, which produced a 2,000-page report detailing the torture inflicted by the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil from 1964 to 1985.Rousseff broke down in tears at one point, prompting the audience to offer a standing ovation in solidarity.
