The U.S. is bracing for global backlash following the release of results of the Senate Intelligence Committee's long-awaited inquiry on post-9/11 interrogation techniques and torture.
The report, culled from millions of internal documents, implicates the CIA, saying the agency intentionally and repeatedly misled the public and the Senate's Intelligence Committee on the effectiveness of these interrogations.
Secretary of State John Kerry called Democratic Sen. Diane Feinstein, chair of the committee, and urged her to reconsider even a partial release of the report, as he said the foreign policy implications would be grave.
He's not the only one urging the senator to refrain from releasing all or part of the findings: Former President George W. Bush is making clear his support of all the CIA operatives who may be implicated in the report.
On The Daily Circuit, we discuss if this will lead to anti-Americanism worldwide and changes in the intelligence community.
