Senate to release torture report

U.S. Marines are on high alert. So are the CIA and the White House for that matter.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle also are ready to enter the fray.
All the fuss is over the Senate Intelligence Committee's $50 million investigation of Bush-era CIA interrogation tactics on detainees in the years following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The long-delayed report on the use of torture - "enhanced interrogation techniques" - by the U.S. government is expected to be released Tuesday morning.
This won't be a full disclosure, but the report's 480-page executive summary. There will also be a shorter Republican counter-assessment and the CIA's own assessment. The complete report totals more than 6,000 pages.
The release comes six years into the Barack Obama presidency and in the waning days of Democratic Party control in the Senate.
Ugly new details
Officials briefed on the report say it will provide ugly new details on the CIA program, including specifics on detainee deaths and a portrayal of a haphazardly assembled and poorly managed program. The report will detail 20 findings, plus 20 case studies that the Senate Democrats say illustrate CIA's misrepresentations about the program. The hunt for Osama bin Laden is one of the 20 case studies.
Countries that cooperated with the CIA, hosting black site prisons and assisting in transferring detainees, will be identified only obliquely and not by name. CIA employees, referred to by pseudonyms in the report, won't be identified; the CIA pushed for the pseudonyms to be redacted because other information in the report could be used to determine who they are.
