WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate Intelligence Committee is expected to release a report Tuesday on CIA interrogation tactics, including torture, in the post 9/11 years.
The anticipated release has U.S. military and government members on heightened alert.
Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today released the following statement regarding the release of a report on the Central Intelligence Agency’s interrogation program:
“The hallmark of a free society is open and transparent government, but certain disclosures must be carefully weighed against the potential damage to the national security interests of the United States and the security of the men and women who serve our country overseas.
“This report contains no recommendations and offers only an unconstructive, partisan account of the last decade’s counterterrorism efforts. It is now time for the Senate Intelligence Committee to move past this long-settled issue and focus on the vitally important national security challenges currently facing our country.”
