report and therefore cannot comment but to talk a little bit more about this i was joined earlier by marcy wheeler reporter at mt weil dot net and i first asked her if she was surprised by these conclusions so far not at all because they are parallel things that came out in the public record in two thousand and nine why do you want to take a look at what one anonymous u.s. official told the washington post that official said quote the cia described its program repeatedly both to the department of justice and eventually to congress as getting unique otherwise unobtainable intelligence that helped disrupt terrorist plots and save thousands of lives one that actually true the answer is no despite what officials were told by the cia do you think it's possible that they knew all along that this program wasn't yielding valuable intelligence information. that they being congress and d.o.j. that i think. if you know you have to go one by one on the people i i think congress mostly got briefings on what kind of intelligence they and the cia always presented as the cia they were getting from detaine

marcy kaptur, democrat, and myself, on both sides of the aisle, we had people fighted this and we beat the big guys. well, unfortunately over the years we've had three or four of these fights. sometimes we've lost. sometimes we've won. but once again we are talking about people who've come to the floor to reform the patent system. they always use the word reform, when in reality they are trying to destroy the fundamentals of a strong american patent system. the last patent bill -- reform bill was the american invents act which just went into effect last year. the patent lawyers and courts and innovators are still trying to figure out what the implications of the changes that we made in the last congress and, however, that -- we have to recognize that bill itself was the most sweeping in changes to the american patent system in the history of our country. and now they're trying and now they are trying to put another bill -- try to shove another one through and it has gone through the house, even another were able to bill h.r. 3309, the innovation act was rammed through the house last de

marcy wheeler believes the report will show to what lengths the cia when to to mislead congress we're going to learn that not just about what kind of intelligence they got but also whether the cia alerted congress at all that they were torture and we're going to learn that they didn't we're going to learn that they repeatedly told told congress things that were simply not true about the conduct of torture chairwoman dianne feinstein is overseeing the declassification process in the senate intelligence committee she's out odds with the cia over allegations the agency spied on her staff as they were compiling the torture report and she said the conclusions of the report sure that the cia's program was quote brutal and un-american but does that mean following its release that people at the cia will be held accountable nothing has ever happened to cia in all of this and probably the reason why is because the authorization for the quarter program as cheney just said it came directly from president bush so if you're going to start holding cia responsible you're also going to have to acknowl
