Reid: And the implications of this report are profound. Not only is torture wrong but it doesn't work. And for people, we hear them coming from different places, saying it was great, it was terrific what we did, it got us so much. it got us nothing except a bad name. Without this report, the American people would not know what actually took place under the C.I.A.'s torture program. This critical report highlights the importance of senate oversight and the role that congress must play in overseeing the executive branch of government. The only way our country can put this episode in the past is to come to terms with what happened and commit to ensuring it will never happen again. This is how we as Americans make our nation stronger. When we realize there is a problem, we seek the evidence. We study it, we learn from it, and then we set about to enact change.
