Jose Rodriguez: Senate Democrats Threw CIA ‘Under The Bus’

Dec. 09, 2014 – 8:03 – Jose Rodriguez, the ex-CIA chief in charge of the enhanced interrogation program, reacted to the release of the CIA interrogation report. Rodriguez said Senate Democrats released a bogus partisan report aimed to throw the CIA under the bus in order to cover for themselves.

A Democrat-led Senate panel headed up by Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) Tuesday released the CIA report on enhanced interrogation despite dire warnings from lawmakers and intel officials. These warnings, which were even echoed by some within the Obama administration, contended the findings would “endanger the lives of Americans” all over the world.

CIA officials have been pushing back hard on the claims made in the report, including that the interrogation didn’t produce intelligence and that the CIA lied to the Bush administration regarding the tactics.

Former CIA Directors George J. Tenet, Porter J. Goss and Michael V. Hayden, and former CIA Deputy Directors John E. McLaughlin, Albert M. Calland and Stephen R. Kappes, penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal claiming, in fact, the program did work and provided plenty detailed accounts of actionable intelligence gathering to prove it.
