I'm sure you've heard about the details in the so-called "CIA Torture Report" released by the U.S. Senate on Tuesday morning. With many coming out against "enhanced interrogation techniques" — some would even call it torture — I thought it important to debunk what I really think is just hooey.

But what I keep hearing is people portraying this as some rogue operation and the CIA was out of bounds.
