Secret CIA Doc: "broad and detailed admission of wrongdoing by the CIA"

GOP Plans To Give Explosive Document Back To CIA

Possibly hiding their, Republican Congresses, complicity in what was going on with the Bush Executive Branch as to the policies set by while abandoning the missions and those sent to accomplish so quickly after 9/11{?}!!

01/20/2015 - The new GOP chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee intends to give back to the CIA an explosive, secret document that has been at the center of a years-long struggle between Congress and the executive branch.

The chairman, North Carolina’s Richard Burr, is also asking executive branch agencies to return unredacted copies of the 6,600 page torture report, he told The Huffington Post in an interview Tuesday night.

The twin moves mark a sharp turn in a new direction for congressional oversight of the intelligence community. The secret document is known colloquially as the Panetta Review, and Democrats who have read it say it is a broad and detailed admission of wrongdoing by the CIA. The agency argues that the document was incomplete when obtained by Senate investigators and doesn’t represent a consensus view within the CIA.

“The Panetta Review was never intended for the committee to have,” Burr told HuffPost. “At some point, we will probably send it back to where it came from.”

The document is a collection of summaries that, according to lawmakers, backs up the damning conclusions of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s massive torture study, the executive summary of which was released late last year and accuses the agency of abuse, misdirection and obfuscation in operating its post-9/11 torture program. The agency has challenged many of the study’s conclusions. However, lawmakers say the internal Panetta Review aligns with the accusations the CIA publicly refutes.

But the drama doesn’t stop there. read more>>>

The Royal United Services Institute said the UK could face a bill of nearly £65bn, once the cost of long-term care for injured veterans was factored in, with most of the money was spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The study, called Wars in Peace, said both conflicts were largely “strategic failures” for the UK, The Guardian reported."

Facts: Matthew Hoh {former Marine and foreign service officer in Afghanistan}: "We spend a trillion dollars a year on national security in this country."
"And when you add up to the Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, Veterans Affairs, interest on debt, the number that strikes me the most about how much we're committed financially to these wars and to our current policies is we have spent $250 billion already just on interest payments on the debt we've incurred for the Iraq and Afghan wars." 26 September 2014

Bob Herbert "Losing Our Way" : "And then the staggering costs of these wars, which are borne by the taxpayers. I mean, one of the things that was insane was that, as we're at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration cut taxes. This has never been done in American history.

Neither of these recent wars have yet been paid for, let alone the results from, including the long ignored or outright denied existence of, till this Administrations Cabinet and Gen Shinseki, only Government branch consistent for the past six years, issues! As well as under deficits most of the, grossly under funded, VA budget is still borrowed thus added, problem creating, costs that shouldn't exist!
