The Obama administration is pushing for redactions in the Senate's torture report . . .

1. One.

So what's your point? From your article:

On Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that negotiations had come "down to essentially one item in the redaction. It happens to be a very sensitive and important item. I talked to the president yesterday, I talked to his chief of staff the day before, I expect to hear about it hopefully today or tomorrow."

When asked if the report's release could be blocked by Republicans if negotiations aren't completed by the change of power in the Senate in January, Feinstein said it wouldn't be an issue. "It is gonna get done, so don't worry about it," she said.

4. And today chaos erupted . . .

. . . the White House is clearly trying to run out the clock on this. I mean, for God's sake, FEINSTEIN, of all people, wants to release the report. The White House is clearly trying to come up with any reason at all to prevent the release of this report. Here's an update from today.

5. "negotiations had come "down to essentially one item in the redaction"

That simply means there is one item presently in dispute. It does not mean there is only one item redacted.

2. Of course they are.

Got to defend the patriots!

We have united oligarchy/nascent fascism, not divided democracy. This administration is continuing the Bush policies of secrecy AND torture, as well as continuing the entire malignant corporate agenda that is moving this nation into fascism.
