Washington, December 19 (RHC)-- The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the CIA to hand over an internal study said to be highly critical of its own program of secret detentions and torture.
The study is said to echo the findings of the Intelligence Committee’s report, which has yet to be declassified but reportedly documents extensive abuses and a cover-up by CIA officials to Congress.
The CIA study is also said to contradict the agency’s own formal response to the Senate report. Earlier this week, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado said the CIA’s withheld study "raises fundamental questions about why a review the CIA conducted internally years ago — and never provided to the committee — is so different from the CIA’s formal response to the committee study."
