CIA torture report won't be released to public, judge rules
• http://rt.comA federal judge ruled Thursday that the Senate's nearly 7,000-page report on the CIA's torture practices during interrogations in the wake of 9/11 will not be made public, marking a setback for civil liberties advocates.
So far, Senate leaders have only released the 480-page executive summary of the so-called torture report, which revealed numerous gruesome details about the CIA's post-9/11 interrogation practices. The fate of the full report has been up in the air, however, since Republicans took control of the Senate during the most recent midterm elections.
