Impending CIA Interrogation Report Release Could Put Americans In Danger, ‘ISIL Motherload’

Both foreign governments and U.S. intelligence agencies are stating the release of a Senate report that examines the use of torture by the CIA after the 9/11 attacks could put Americans in real danger overseas.

ABC News reports that U.S. embassies around the world, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, are bracing for retaliation after the Senate releases the reports outlining graphic descriptions of secret interrogations, including some details that have never been heard before.

According to ABC, though the use of waterboarding stopped many years ago, according to those who have seen this report, ugly new details about those procedures will be revealed in this new report. The report outlines ways in which prisoners were sexually demeaned, and CIA interrogators that were urged to continue, even after concluding that no more information could be gained from the suspect.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., notes that the new report will be a “motherload” for ISIL.

“They don’t have to be accurate or right. They just have to believe it’s true and they will take advantage of that. We know that ISIL propaganda operations will — this is the motherload for them.”

According to RT, the 480-page report on Central Intelligence Agency’s interrogation techniques after 9/11 is to be to be released next week. The document is a summary of a larger 6,000-page study, which still remains classified. Rogers is questioning why the report is even being released after the investigation of CIA torture by the Justice Department saw no criminal charges filed. In fact, it seems that all U.S. agencies are preparing for the worst one the report is released to the public noting that it will most likely cause “violence and death.”

However, on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein, to consider the timing of the release report. Feinstein seems to have had no particular comment on Kerry’s plea, only that “we have to get this report out.” She went on to say that the report shows that the CIA undermined societal and constitutional values that we are very proud of. Anybody who reads this is going to never let this happen again.”

Both Feinstein and Kerry are democrats showing a split between the party on what should be done with this sensitive information. Though Kerry does not say he wants the information to remain private, he is urging that the timing of the release be taken into consideration to ensure that Americans aren’t put at unnecessary risk following the release.

What do you think? Should the report be released for the sake of transparency, or should it be withheld due to concerns of violence?
