CIA Director: Obama Won’t Probe Bush Admin Torture

HeadlineJan 16, 2009

Outgoing CIA Director Michael Hayden is claiming President-elect Obama has no intention on launching a probe of CIA torture practices, including waterboarding. Speaking at a farewell news conference, Hayden said Obama shared his plans at an intelligence briefing last month. Hayden said, “He’s looking forward, and that’s very appropriate.” Hayden’s comments came as Obama’s nominee for attorney general, Eric Holder, told the Senate Judiciary Committee he thinks waterboarding is a form of torture. More from Holder’s confirmation hearing after headlines.
