(11 Dec 2014) CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Director John Brennan gave a rare news conference on Thursday, defending his agency from accusations in a Senate report that it used inhumane interrogation techniques against militant suspects with no security benefits to the United States.
Brennan opened by recounting the horrors of the September 11, 2001 attacks, his agency's determination to prevent another such assault and the fact that CIA officers were the first to fight and early to die in the Afghanistan war.
He conceded that unauthorised, and in some cases, abhorrent methods were used against captives.
