After reading the summary in this morning's paper I question the following:

I would most certainly like to know the major expenditure categories that amount to $40 million?

The summary itself is very redundant in it's presentation of items; why?

If this report is going to do more harm than good in the world, what was the purpose and intent of allowing $40 million to be spent and why is it being released to the general population of the world?

How can anyone present instances when enhanced techniques being used when the same information was available elsewhere? Should the interrogators have taken years to reach the same conclusion?

Other than political positioning and media fodder, what possible good comes from the $40 million investment.

Does anybody have any real understanding of what it takes to spend $40 million and who was the check book keeper.

The only conclusions based on limited reading of the findings I can reach are:

so what?
$40 million uncontrolled boon doggle!
The immediate benefits have a further negative effect of the USA in the world (so they say). And USA operatives around the world are put in danger.
Another political/media driven frenzy taking our eye off the USA's real problems at home and around the world.
Due consideration of the source is an absolute neccessity!

It is possible to discuss this study without it being turned into a political tit for tat, hit and run dialogue!
