Reaction to the Senate interrogation report going about as expected: 'May Allaah destroy these filthy bastards'

Sen. Dianne Feinstein is speaking right now on the Senate floor and defending the just released Senate Intelligence Committee’s controversial report on interrogation techniques:

Feinstein: Senate "Torture Report" based on some 6.3 Million documents…CIA actions are "a stain on our values.” via @clancycnn

— CNN Communications (@CNNPR) December 9, 2014

Feinstein: Senators were concerned people being tortured far more brutally and the results were far less valuable.

Sen Feinstein emphasizing history of the inquiry, including CIA's destruction of videotape evidence, which (even) Bush DOJ investigated.

But Feinstein said releasing the report will show the world that "America is big enough to admit when it is wrong." http://t.co/CJgXJbvXL1

Oh really? Well, now that America has admitted “it is wrong,” let’s see how well we’re being portrayed overseas.

Here’s @ShamiWitness, recently referred to by the Gaurdain as “the most influential tweeter for foreign fighters” in Syria, on the report:

Fantastic. Exit note, the Guardian also credits @ShamiWitness as playing a role helping ISIS recruit foreign fighters:

The most influential tweeter for foreign fighters was named as Shami Witness, a social media operator whose popularity has swollen in tandem with the territorial expansion of Isis, from 4,700 to 11,900 followers since April. It is an increase that some experts say chimes with his apparent evolution from anti-Assad activist to supporter of Isis, but his political evolution has, says Neumann, implications for western security. “You might have a wannabe foreign fighter sitting at home in Portsmouth and he can simply reach out to Shami Witness. He plays a role linking wannabes with foreign fighters.”

Over to you, Sen. Feinstein.
