>> The only people who think that are Faux viewers., Rush listeners, and people who are implicated in the report.

No:

Bob Kerrey (former Democrat member of the Committee):

"I do not need to read the report to know that the Democratic staff alone wrote it. The Republicans checked out early when they determined that their counterparts started out with the premise that the CIA was guilty and then worked to prove it."

US News:

usnews.com

"The report is a one-sided product of partisans seeking to blacken further the reputations of those in charge of prosecuting the war. Committee Republicans issued their own 100-page rebuttal that challenged many of the assertions the Democrats who wrote the report made and dismissed it as “a sloppy, partisan effort that got the facts wrong,” according to the New York Times. Rather than being a document to guide the nation for the ages, the report appears to have been written in the way many American students write term papers: Develop the conclusion first, and then find facts that fit the thesis and present them in detail."

But more to the point: The EITs applied by CIA were mild, all within the DOJ guidelines, and certainly tame when compared with Clinton's more than 70 "extraordinary renditions", where REAL torture was used, farmed out to nice places like Egypt. Yet, not a single mention in the so-called "torture report."
