I know that youre going to be shocked, shocked, but the CIA, which is vetting the supposedly devastating still secret report on its torture and interrogation practices by the Senate Intelligence Committee before any part of it is released to the public, is now claiming it needs more time, at least into the summer to do things like coordinate with other agencies and possibly foreign governments before any portion of the report can be released. In fact, it says that who knows how long it will need (assumedly well into the twenty-second century, if possible). This is, of course, what happens when you set the fox to vetting the hen house. Tom The CIA could still be months away from approving the release of a long-awaited Senate report that is sharply critical of the agency’s use of harsh interrogation measures on terrorism suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to a request the Obama administration filed in federal court Thursday. The filing, submitted by the Justice Department, asked the court for additional time for the CIA to review the Senate report and determine how much of it can be declassified. The agency sought permission to provide a progress update on June 20, but warned that even then it would need additional time to coordinate with other agencies and possibly foreign governments before any portion of the report can be released. The review will likely be completed this summer, although an exact time cannot now be determined, the Justice Department said in a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Washington in connection with a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union aimed at forcing the agency to release the report publicly. washingtonpost/world/national-security/cia-wants-more-time-to-review-senate-report-on-interrogation-program/2014/05/15/13183998-dc64-11e3-bda1-9b46b2066796_story.html
