Huffington Post - More than a year after the Senate Intelligence Committee voted to declassify its massive study on the CIA’s post-9/11 torture program -- and nearly 10 months after its gruesome executive summary was publicly released -- the CIA’s George W. Bush-era guard is still bitter.
And unsurprisingly, the former spies aren’t sorry.
In a volume to be released later this week, former CIA leaders Porter Goss, Jose Rodriguez and George Tenet, along with several other CIA leaders and lawyers, accuse the Intelligence panel’s now-minority Democrats of compiling a slanted report, and unequivocally defend the use of torture against high-level terror suspects.
The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report, the executive summary of which was released in December, charged that the agency lied to the White House and grossly mismanaged and abused its interrogation program. It also asserted that contrary to the agency’s insistence, the use of torture did not lead to the capture of Osama bin Laden.
