Rebuild With Biden!
Trying to hide facts on Wiki.... only makes for more digging, but someone is trying to erase certain words like(torture).Apparently, they definitely know the IP of the culprit.

In the corner of Twitter lies Congress Edits, an automated tool which reports every time someone from a congressional IP address edits a page on Wikipedia. Usually it is simple things, like adding congressional bills to pages which reference them, or claims that Donald Rumsfeld is an alien. But, in the wake of the vomit-inducing revelations of widespread torture by the CIA, someone in congress decided on taking a page out of Orwell, and began to systematically erase the mention of torture from the wikipedia page.
This address has been quite active on Wikipedia, including editing CongressEdit’s own Wikipedia entry in some form of self-gratifying prank. Other edits include removing the classification of the White House Information Group as propaganda, and demanding that criticism of the movie Lone Survivor be removed, along with claiming that “Danny is a big fan of his” in a Wikipedia page on Philip Danforth Armour. In short, the IP address has been used, and abused, for awhile now.
No, the CIA report is not the most flattering, but Wikipedia is not a popularity contest. It is an attempt at crowdsourcing accurate information. Attempting to hide the bits you don’t want to remember only will bring them out for people to witness. Whomever you are, IP# 156.33.241.11, the world knows your number, and they are watching.
