Feinstein: ‘Of Course I Am’ Disappointed Obama Is Sealing Torture Report in His Presidential Records

MITCHELL: "Finally, I want to ask you about the so-called torture report. Are you disappointed that President Obama isn’t declassifying it but is instead placing it in his presidential records which will keep it sealed for more than a decade?"
FEINSTEIN: "Of course I am. It may not be the most opportune time because individual cases are pending. I have been worried about an effort to destroy the report and the president, by putting it in his personal archives, prevents that from happening. And also means it will be declassified in, I think it is 11 or 12 years. There is no question that this report is important for posterity. It is important that leaders in the future read the 7,000 pages, that they look at the 32,000 footnotes. We don’t draw judgments in the report. What we do is report the fact of the effectiveness of this kind of torture."
