The Senate intelligence committee called on President Barack Obama to make public key sections of its classified report on extreme interrogation techniques used by the CIA after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The panel voted 11-3 yesterday to ask Obama to declassify the executive summary and 20 findings and conclusions from the 6,200-page report. It would be the government’s most comprehensive public assessment of waterboarding, sleep deprivation, confinement in small spaces and other interrogation techniques used on suspected terrorists at secret prisons during President George W. Bush’s administration.
