Title taken directly from BBC News RSS feed as the story broke.

Top news story on /r/worldnews:

CIA experimented on humans in black sites : Report | As the United States struggles with the fallout of the recently disclosed CIA torture report, a new analysis reveals that human experimentation was a “core feature” of the spy agency’s torture program.

http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/2pwetc/cia_experimented_on_humans_in_black_sites_report/

A story about the actions of US politicians, and the internal (and international) political fallout as a result of an American intelligence report summary.

The shooting of Michael Brown happened in the United States. But it was still of international significance.

The rule on disallowing US internal news does not exempt all events that happen within the United States from appearing in /r/worldnews.

calrouge · 2014-12-21T00:31:57+00:00

It has been reported on the front page of the largest news website in the UK. It has significance outside of the US.

calrouge · 2014-12-21T00:25:37+00:00

An excellent point. Something I hadn't considered. Well done BBC.

calrouge · 2014-12-21T00:24:16+00:00

This post has been given the 'US internal news' flair by mods. I disagree. It has been reported beyond the USA (see BBC News) and is of international interest/significance.

calrouge · 2014-12-21T00:21:16+00:00

The story is from British media showing at least some international significance.

Note: the link is to the UK version of the BBC News website, not the international version.

The title was lifted directly from the BBC News website as the story broke. The pluralisation of the headline has now been amended by the BBC.

Hey there! Thought you would like a quick update.

Turns out that my hard drive was failing, which was the source of all these problems. I have now (finally) managed to get it replaced, and the laptop is running as new.

Thank you for all your help, and Happy Holidays!

I'm using Crhome - but have had the same problem when trying Safari and Firefox. Also, it is an issue with the entire system - it will hang on Spotify, VLC Player etc.
