Thursday, in addressing the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA detention and interrogation, agency director John Brennan said, “I think we see in the international press right now there is a lot of scrutiny being paid to being paid to what different partners did during that period of time, and I think there’s a lot of hyperbole that is now fueling the discussion, the debate, and also then is harmful to continuing our intelligence cooperation because there is a lot of exaggeration, misrepresentation of the facts, and, therefore, I think certain agendas are being pursued, and so I certainly wish that this would not be happening.”
