When do we start calling this a 'cover-up' by the Obama White House?

11. good point about the Senate knowing already

. . .still, is the WH hiding their own actions or just protecting their own prerogative to employ some of the objectionable and legally questionable actions that the Bush administration engaged in?

After all, this administration did, inherit/adopt much of Bush's 'terror war' and actually escalated a great deal of it - maybe out of what they viewed as a necessity; something along the lines of what the President was hinting at Friday night.

If we walk the question of an actual 'cover-up' back a bit, we can still wonder just what is motivating this administration to slow or obscure information they know well is contained in the torture report's findings. Given that Congress isn't inclined to regard many things that average Americans might view as improper or even illegal, it's not a solid endorsement to just say that the 'Senate knows,' although I take your point on that.

Moreover, there may well be senators who know of illegalities but are restricted from revealing the report's findings because of legal restrictions on their own conduct in that investigation; on their own ability to tell it like they found it.

Maybe we need a whistleblower on this.
