Cicilline (D-RI), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, today issued the following statement on the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the Central Intelligence Agency’s Detention and Interrogation Program: “The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report is deeply disturbing. Among the many findings, this report reveals that the CIA employed more brutal interrogation techniques than had been previously detailed publicly, deliberately misled Congress and the White House about the program’s effectiveness, and damaged the United States’ reputation around the world. These abuses are a violation of basic human rights and are in stark contrast to our values as a nation, and this report provides further confirmation that these techniques simply fail to provide results that strengthen our national security. I applaud the members of the Senate Intelligence Committee for their efforts to provide the American people with an account of the actions carried out in their name. It is now our duty as elected officials, and American citizens who believe in the values upon which our nation was founded, to ensure serious violations such as this never occur again.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
