sherry in thailand at the end of two thousand and two if as the senate committee folland no valuable information was obtained from the sherry should that really have sparked a rethink in the way that these interrogations are carried out. of course one interesting aspect here is that the senator who conducted this hearing richard burr of north carolina. made sure that that four years study conducted by his predecessor senator dianne feinstein made sure that he collected all copies of that very very damaging very very very awful report because they were his report so what he did richard there was deep sixed as our way of saying make out of the out of the public knowledge the the
