CIA interrogation helped get bin Laden: senator
By
Sarah N. Lynch and Doina Chiacu WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans on
the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee will soon release a report
asserting the CIA's use of harsh interrogation techniques helped bring
down Osama bin Laden and disrupt terrorist plots, the panel's top
Republican said on Sunday. "Information gleaned from these
interrogations was in fact used to interrupt and disrupt terrorist
plots, including some information that took down bin Laden," Senator
Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said on CBS's "Face the Nation." Democrats
who control the Senate Intelligence Committee are expected to issue
their own report that alleges the CIA techniques, such as
"waterboarding," did not help yield valuable intelligence and were not
necessary. It is unclear when the Democrats' report will be released
because Senator Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the committee, has said she
may challenge some redactions made by the Obama administration.
President Barack Obama, who banned the practices after taking office in
2009, said on Friday the CIA had "tortured some folks" during former
President George W. Bush's administration.Read More ...
