Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

Minority Report Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

The most important book in what is called The Senate Torture Report.

This is the third book in what is commonly called the "Senate Torture Report." The full title is, the Senate Intelligence Committee's Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program - Minority Views.

It's the one where the minority, Republican members explain what was wrong with the first, main book, written exclusively by the majority, Democrat members.

This is the book that tells you what the first book didn't tell you. I believe it may prove the most important book of the three.

Know what all the arguments are. Whatever side you are on, if you're only going to read one report, make it this one.

What they're saying:

"I'm going to read the report, but I'm also going to read the minority report..."
- David Ignatius, Washington Post columnist

"I urge everyone to read the Minority Views which document many falsehoods propagated by the Study."
- U. S. Senator Richard Burr (R-NC)

"There's a theory on the part of the Senate Democrats... that no significant information was obtained as a result of the use of those enhanced interrogation techniques. That is absolutely wrong, and you're going to be able to see from the report itself as well as from the minority views that we have put together... that information gleaned from these interrogations was in fact used to interrupt and disrupt terrorist plots, including some information that took down [Osama] bin Laden."
- U. S. Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Senate Intelligence Committee
