Still working in the cia. called for president obama to purge his administration of them. as we reported yesterday the report found that tactics were more brutal than cia officials admitted. waterboarding sleep deprivation in a case where a detainee died of hypothermia after interrogates chained him partially naked to a concrete floor. thats part of the list, havent seen. john brennan admits the agency, quote, made mistakes but claims the harsh interrogations saved lives. ed henry at the white h...

Whats clear is that the cia set up something very fast without a lot of forethought to what the ramifications might be. >> reporter: the president was responding to senate intelligence committee chair dianne feinsteins damning report on cia interrogations that said detainees were waterboarded, kept in dungeon conditions, others naked, hooded and dragged while being slapped and punched. the report said the agency misled the bush administration about the program and no cia officer up to and includ...

They were attacked the british embassy which then closed, the red cross closed, it was a dangerous area and security was not amped up. we also learned five newly opened posts still do not have adequate security. >> you put that alongside of the house report that came out with interrogations yesterday and the concern put out there, and now the response to that concern by chuck hagel, defense secretary who is exiting to ramp up security abroad. and this is the kind of thing we were doing previousl...

To a construct, a rationale to say they didnt tell us the truth. interrogations were the right thing to do. if i had to do it all over again, i would do it. on a personal note, i know scores of americans who lost loved ones on 9/11. i have watched their children grow up without mothers and fathers. if i were president, i would have authorized waterboarding and other severe interrogation methods of high ranking captured terrorists. it is morally correct to protect innocent lives from bare bare ba...

Entire 37-page section dedicated solely to inconsistencies in a single 2007 appearance in front of the committee. for example, the senator asked hayden personnel express allegations about interrogations being used. im not aware of any. these guys are more experienced. no. the report knows that statement is incongruent with c.i.a. records. they express reservations over zubayda. several on the team profoundly affected. some to the point of tears and choking up. an e-mail points away from the dete...

Their own rebuttals to the study. then we page through the case, its difficult to challenge the notion that the program was mismanaged. >> you know, this was based on documents, e-mails, memos at the time, and john rizzo was actually on cnn tonight and was asked a question about one of the e-mails that he wrote. and actually said he couldnt quite remember about that e-mail, which is one of the reasons why the e-mails are so powerful. it doesnt rely on someones memory of what they said at a parti...

Out again on this huge push, this huge publicity campaign to beat back an actual record showing inconsistencies and discrepancies. >> we should be clear. it provides the raw materials for this report. the one argument folks in the c.i.a. are making that seems to me persuasive is we are being hung out to dry here. we are ordered by the president of the united states to stay do this. we did it. sure, we werent equipped to. it was wanted by the american people who were thirsty for vengeance and ter...

I am martha mccallum. bill: and i am bill hemmer. defendant needs on the 9/11 senate would not have found the not impersonal carrier any other way. here is michael hayden earlier this hour on "americas newsroom." >> these interrogations gave us a home depot like storage of information on al qaeda which we are still relying on today. martha: mike baker former cia covert operations officer an ana global intelligence and security firm, good morning, good to have you with us today. diane feinstein r...

That is not untypical. any fbi -- one thing is really interesting to me, assuming the people involved in these decisions, they werent fbi agents, they werent federal prosecutors, in a sense they watched too many movies, where the baddie gives up everything because theyre abused. thats not how real interrogation is perceived. >> michael hayden said everybody is carefully vetd. this shows a lot of people, they are psychologists who had no experience in interrogations. they were contractors, who ha...
