Reuters:
“John Brennan, President Obama’s nominee to head the CIA, had
detailed, contemporaneous knowledge of the use of ‘enhanced
interrogation techniques’ on captured terrorism suspects during an
earlier stint as a top spy agency official… Those records, the sources said,
show that Brennan was a regular recipient of CIA message traffic about
controversial aspects of the agency’s counter-terrorism program after
September 2001, including the use of waterboarding. How deeply
involved Brennan was in the program, and whether he vigorously objected
to it at the time, as he has said he did, are likely to be central
questions lawmakers raise at his Senate Intelligence Committee
confirmation hearing, scheduled for February 7.”
