Senators seek return of CIA torture report copies
Senate Intelligence Chair Richard Burr ordered retrieval of the 2014 CIA torture report from federal agencies and returned to Congress. By week’s end most copies were back, with at least one sealed in court and others held by Justice and Defense, DNI, State, and the National Archives. The 6700 page document covered 2001 to 2006 brutal detention and interrogation. Democratic critics accuse Burr of trying to bury the report. Feinstein calls the move erasing history. Warner defends learning from past abuses.
