Panetta: No One to Be Punished for Interrogations

Thursday, March 5, 2009 5:47 PM


WASHINGTON -- CIA Director Leon Panetta says agency employees who took
part in harsh interrogations of terrorism suspects are not in danger of
being punished.
Panetta delivered that message to CIA employees in an e-mail Thursday,
reiterating what he told Congress last month. He said then that he would
oppose prosecutions of any CIA employee who adhered to their legal
guidance on interrogations.
He sent the message after the Senate Intelligence Committee announced
its review of the CIA's interrogation and detention program under
President George W. Bush.
The committee will look at how the CIA decided whom to interrogate,
whether it told Congress the truth about the program and whether it was
legal. It will also try to determine whether the harsher methods the CIA
used elicited valuable intelligence.


CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON!!
