The WH is not releasing it, the Senate is, and yes, ever since 2009 the WH has brushed the torture of the previous admin under the carpet, and promised there will be no legal action. This week Kerry called and said he was not happy with the release of it.
You are correct that it's the Senate releasing it, but saying the WH has "been trying to prevent the report from being released" is contradicted by what's stated in the article in the NY Times.
I haven't read the full thread yet but I don't get it. Why is the CIA releasing this info knowing it could potentially put our military personnel at risk?

Because people with no grasp on reality are now running the show. Ask any Military or Intelligence officer out there if they think this is a good idea. No country in the world would do something so stupid.

Your article says this: "The White House acknowledged that the report could pose a “greater risk†to American installations and personnel in countries like Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and Iraq".
They have covered for CIA since 2009 and assured no one will stand trial for anything. If someone asks about transparency, the only thing they can say is they support transparency.

You're going to cherry pick my quote back to me? Why did you leave out the second sentence? It says, "But it said that the government had months to plan for the reverberations from its report — indeed, years — and that those risks should not delay the release of the report by the Senate Intelligence Committee."
Oh noes! The republicans don't want this politicized!
People should have been charged over this stuff. People should be in prison.
Much better in your opinion to have ISIS behead more Americans, huh? Perhaps you'll volunteer to offer your neck next if the U.S. stops torturing enemies to acquire valuable info for our country's and citizens' defense.
There is concern that this will help the extremist cause as was the case with Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq. I still feel the American people have a right to know, not the best time for release it should have been done months ago. I am sure it has to do with the incoming changing of the guard and the fact that it will never see the light of day next month.
No, it's a distraction from Grubergate. Gruber is testifying before Congress today.

Because it deflects attention from the Gruber hearings which are highly damaging to Dems!
Too much of a coincidence they released it just minutes after the Gruber congressional hearing started,
So now the media will cover the CIA reports which are damaging to Repubs instead.
Rep Cummings (big Dem) opened the Gruber hearing saying how upset he was that the Gruber fallout gave the Repubs a huge PR campaign.
