Tonight The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later) is largely concerned with the two huge pieces of news from Capitol Hill today: the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's long-overdue release of the (summary of the) Torture Report, and smarmy Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber being grilled by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Joining to discuss are Party Panelists Charles W. Cooke (National Review) and Sherrod Small (comedian), as well as Cato Institute scholar and former Reasoner Julian Sanchez, ex-CIA intel dude Mike Baker, and serial senatorial loser Scott Brown. Other topics to be discussed include royal protocol, the president on Colbert, Lena Dunham's legal woes, and our latest Heroes of Freedom.

Online-only aftershow begins at foxbusiness.com/independents just after 10. Follow The Independents on Facebook at facebook.com/IndependentsFBN, follow on Twitter @ independentsFBN, hashtag us at #TheIndependents, and click on this page for more video of past segments.
