VIDEO: John Oliver takes on CIA’s Torture Report

By: Laura Meyers

Comedian John Oliver’s latest episode was about torture. He conscripted actress Helen Mirren to read the worst parts of the US Torture Report that was released last year like they’re out of a children’s bedtime story.

My favorite part is when she reads: “Majid Kahn’s ‘Lunch Tray’ consisting of hummus, pasta with sauce, nuts, and raisins was ‘pureed’ and rectally infused.”
