CIA Internal Watchdog Admits It Destroyed Copy of Senate Torture Report

HeadlineMay 17, 2016

The CIA’s internal watchdog has admitted it “mistakenly” destroyed its only copy of the Senate’s report on CIA torture. Yahoo News said the acknowledgment came as Justice Department lawyers assured a federal judge copies of the report were being preserved. The CIA reportedly does have another copy. The 6,700-page report has never been publicly released.
