- W2592443907 abstract "Rebuttal The CIA Responds to the Senate Intelligence Committee's Study of Its Detention and Interrogation Program Edited by Bill Harlow, Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, Maryland, 2015, 352 pagesIn early December 2014, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) released its report on the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Detention and Interrogation Program, concluding that the use of enhanced interrogation techniques (EITs) was brutal and ineffective, and that the CIA misrepresented the program's effectiveness to executive and legislative oversight, as well as to the public. CIA Director John Brennan released a statement the same day: While we made mistakes, the record does not support the study's inference that the agency systematically and intentionally misled each of these audiences on the effectiveness of the program1 More than a year prior, the CIA had offered a highly detailed and introspective response to the SSCI investigation, which highlighted points of agreement, admitted failures, and pushed back on certain findings. Brennan noted in his introductory letter to this response, personally remain firm in my belief that [EITs] are not an appropriate method to obtain intelligence and that their use impairs our ability to continue to play a leadership role in the world2In Rebuttal: The CIA responds to the Senate Intelligence Committee's Study of Its Detention and Interrogation Program, editor Bill Harlow reprints the declassified CIA response to the SSCI report from 2013, along with the SSCI's Republican minority response. The CIA response document in particular is worthy of a careful read. Rebuttal also includes essays written by senior CIA officials involved with the program-former directors George Tenet, Porter Goss, and Michael Hayden; former deputy directors John McLaughlin and Michael Morell; former counterterrorism deputy director J. Philip Mudd; former acting general counsel John Rizzo; and former counterterrorism center director Jose Rodriguez.To his credit, Tenet does make an effort in his essay to address the ethical and moral challenges involved with the design and implementation of such a program. He also attempts to argue the ticking time bomb scenario, citing his not unreasonable fears of a detonation of a weapon of mass destruction on American soil, and noting that he briefed President Bush about reporting that indicated a nuclear weapon had been smuggled into the United States destined for New York City Yet he goes on to say, paradoxically, that he later suspended the program at a time of heightened in order to ensure legal protections for the agency and its employees-the law was more important than interrogations A noble sentiment, and one for which CIA employees owe him greatly, but if you can so readily identify the moral hazards and cite the threat of imminent nuclear annihilation as justification for EITs, how can you suggest that lawyerly cover is even more important? It would have been useful to hear more from Tenet on how to resolve this apparent contradiction.Goss, who prior to serving as CIA director was the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, bemoans partisan agendas and presents ad hominem attacks against his legislative colleagues-the members of the 'select' oversight committees are not always selected for their understanding of the intelligence community According to Rebuttal coauthor John Rizzo, as detailed in his previously published book Company Man, perhaps they would have had a better understanding had Goss briefed them properly.According to Rizzo, Goss failed to inform Congress that videotape records of waterboarding had been destroyed: 'So please tell me, I asked, 'that you briefed the intelligence committee leaders about the destruction and that there's a record somewhere of that briefing' There was a pause, and then Porter said, 'Gee, I don't remember ever telling them. …" @default.
