Some folks? Like mass-murderer Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?

Via The Hill:

President Obama said in blunt terms Friday that the United States “tortured some folks” — describing how a forthcoming report will detail now defunct U.S. interrogation techniques he described as “contrary to our values.”

Obama said the White House has finished its declassification review of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on Bush-era enhanced interrogation techniques.

Now, it’s up to the committee to make the executive summary and other portions of the report public, which is expected to happen in the next few weeks.

“Even before I came into office, I was very clear that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we did some things that were wrong,” Obama said in a last-minute news conference in the White House briefing room. “We did a lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. We did some things that were contrary to our values. I understand why it happened.”
