CIA Report Opens Old Wounds Amid Islamic State Crisis

European governments gave a muted response to a U.S. report on Central Intelligence Agency torture, declining the opportunity to criticize the Obama administration amid concerns over current security threats.

While China accused the U.S. of hypocrisy, the European Union, the U.K. and Germany moderated their response to the findings of the report by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski said publishing of the report would help restore trans-Atlantic relations.
