Civil Liberties Advocates Calls for Senate Intelligence Investigation to be Public
By Daphne Eviatar 2/27/09 12:50 PM

As I reported yesterday, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is planning to launch a thorough review of the CIA’s interrogation techniques used in the “war on terror” during the Bush administration. The inquiry, which has not yet been formally announced because its scope and procedures are still being developed, will be the first major review of the CIA’s interrogation tactics and treatment of detainees since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Civil liberties advocates have been trying to get much of this information for years and are pleased that the intelligence committee is planning to investigate. But they are also concerned that the final report of the committee might not be made public, which in their view would defeat an important part of its purpose. Their fears are founded.
