find any of the people part of the intakes gays? >> down side of the report, for sure. put together by democrats, that's true. but, they didn't interview anybody at the cia. >> no they didn't. so what did they do? they leaked information and called a to a torture report, so everybody's banner headline says tore tuesday, not interrogation. this is so bad you have past director of the crutch. a, and current director, owe became an appointee, all have said wait a minute. this was not torture, we got actionable -- actual intelligence from this. and they put up website called cia saved lives. immediately after this report came down -- >> absolute opposite that far said the torture is ineffective. >> yes. >> says people will say anything when being tortured. you can't proof that it was, you know -- >> no, no, actually do have
7:35 am
proof. if you go today's wall street journal, lead editorial, mentions the information that we got that is directly tied to the interrogation, again, let's not adopt the nomenclature of the people who leaked the report who didn't talk to anybody in the intelligence chain, but decided that it was torture at the beginning, so then they reversed engineer the reports. >> reports indicate that there are eight people that came one this idea, this intense interrogation technique. why wouldn't the president be notified? how come dick chainy? >> colon paul didn't know about it according to the record. >> the president new about this. he knew enhanced interrogation, attorney general is the one who went and got the legal justification. report says we spent $80 million, private contractors, and they go over

7:37 am
it is a way of training you so you understand what you can take. but again, we're accepting the nomenclature of leak report. >> why is it coming out now? >> yesterday the administration had bad news with jonathan gruber testifying. than was an opportune moment to get people to pay attention to the shiny object. >> owe bear a care -- >> keep this in mine. foreign government, that trusted us because they participate in the. >> this they new that we had to stop the terror act, that we new we were going to happen. now, they all have been ousted. >> linsey gram, very conservative guy. he said mistakes were made, and we've stopped doing this stuff. so doesn't that casino of admit that he believes it happened? >> some things that were not done, but say exactly within a protocol. but that doesn't mean that it
