What Donald Trump’s Relationship With T.V. Tells Us About His Rise To The Presidency – And America
The New York Times chief T.V. critic says television is the "main thing" about Donald Trump.
The Senate Intelligence Committee released a summary of its scathing report Dec. 9 on CIA interrogation practices post- 9/11. The report depicts an agency that used brutal and ineffective methods to elicit information from terror detainees, and misled Congress and the White House about its activities. Reaction has been explosive, falling mostly along party lines. CIA officials say their program yielded valuable counter-terrorism intel and helped weaken Al-Qaeda, contrary to the report’s central findings. And many Republican lawmakers are condemning the report’s release, saying it endangers the lives of Americans at home and abroad. We look at the debate over what’s come to be known as the “torture report.”
