Q & A at News Conference: Release the Senate Torture Report - Jan. 10th, 2017

Four years ago, the Senate Intelligence Committee produced a 7,000-page report that the committee chair at the time, Dianne Feinstein, calls "a total exposé of the ineffectiveness of torture."

Only a 500-page censored summary was released two years ago.

Today, January 10th, 2017, 5 speakers called on President Obama to release the Senate Torture Report before he leaves office on January 20th. At the National Press Club in Washington DC, the group announced plans to deliver a petition containing more than 60,000 signatures to Senator Diane Feinstein on Wednesday, January 11th, 2017.
The petition can be found on the RootsAction.org website:
