2009-08-26 14:30:00 Photo credit: J. David Ake/ AP When the CIA inspector general's 2004 report on "harsh interrogation techniques" was released this week thanks to those bleeding heart bastards at the American Civil Liberties Union using that left-wing propaganda tool, the Freedom of Information Act, I thought, "Oh, cool!" I thought, "Oh, cool!" because I guess Eli Roth isn't going to make "Hostel 3," so I wanted to see what the CIA had come up with under the guidance of the Bush administration to get a bunch of religious zealots to talk. Although the 109-page report is still largely redacted (meaning the juiciest parts are still blacked out), I wasn't disappointed. "Oh snap!" I said while reading the report. "CIA, that...
