WASHINGTON: Former US vice president Dick Cheney Friday slammed a Justice Department probe into alleged abusive interrogation techniques by CIA agents as an “outrageous political act.”
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday to be aired at the weekend, Cheney said the investigation would do long term damage to America’s ability to protect itself, adding the administration should not punish agents for doing their jobs.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Monday he had named assistant US attorney John Durham to review the CIA interrogations of detainees at secret sites overseas to determine whether any laws were broken. sourec asia news
