Senate Staffer Tries To Remove ‘Torture’ From Wikipedia Page On Torture Report
There is nothing wrong with torture, it seems, except the word itself. At least that is what’s implied by a brazen attempt by an unidentified Congressional staffer to change the Wikipedia page on the CIA Torture Report. This is not the first time someone in the Capitol has been caught trying to manipulate facts on the popular reference website. I guess some in Washington simply can’t handle the truth … being on Wikipedia.

An anonymous Wikipedia user from an IP address that is registered to United States Senate has tried, and failed, to remove a phrase with the word “torture” from the website’s article on the Senate Intelligence Committee’s blockbuster CIA torture report. The unknown individual has attempted on at least two occasions — first on Dec. 9 and then on Dec. 10 — to remove a line describing the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques as “a euphemism for torture.”

Well it is obvious they are trying to remove torture from all vocab pertaining to actions taken after 9/11. I have seen multiple people being interviewed and after every other word they would interject the phrase enhanced interrogation techniques. And they all just love to claim how much better the EIT is better than Obama’s drone usage, as if bush didn’t use drones.
