___ news! Our nation has taken a ____ step toward torture accountability and ______ transparency.
The Senate Intelligence Committee voted ____ to declassify critical portions of the committee’s report on CIA use of torture.
But before it can be released, the report will be reviewed by President Obama and redactions (like ____) could be made.
