Hi, this is Warren Alney. Thanks so much for listening to this podcast of To the Point,

and I want to tell you about another podcast that's available here at KCRW, and that's the program,

DNA, hosted by Francis Anderton.

Francis is well connected in the industry of design and architecture and art.

She used to be editor of an architecture magazine.

She knows the trends before they happen. She'll be able to fill you in on them. You can find DNA on KCRW's iTunes page.

From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

CIA torture, partis is To the Point. CIA Torture, Partisanship and Accountability.

Hello again, I'm Roman Almi, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International,

I'd do it again in a minute.

One time POW John McCain has won a few Republicans to agree with Senate Democrats that American values were endangered, along with national security.

Former CIA insiders blame inexperienced agents and outside contractors,

along with orders from Washington to get tough with prisoners.

What are the prospects for accountability 13 years later?

Today's talking point, a racially charged police shooting in Cleveland is called a homicide.

First, here's the news.
