The Trump administration on Wednesday was quick to distance itself from a document circulating through the media that purported to be a draft executive order on allowing the Central Intelligence Agency to reopen secret interrogation prisons overseas.
Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters the document did not originate in the White House.
Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reportedly spoke to Defense Secretary James Mattis and CIA Director Mike Pompeo Wednesday morning, telling them “any attempt by this administration to restart torture is absolutely unacceptable, and I will strongly oppose it,” according to the Associated Press.
Initially circulated by the New York Times, the Washington Post and Associated Press, the three-page document titled “Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants” seeks to undo President Obama’s action allowing the Red Cross access to American-held detainees.
Citing defense of the “homeland,” the document claims U.S. national interest depends upon its ability “to obtain critical intelligence information about developing threats,” including
The document also names President Obama’s 2009 order to halt all classified intelligence interrogations by the CIA and the use of Guantanamo Bay Naval Base for the detention of “alien enemy combatants.” It further calls out Obama’s 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, which codifies the former president’s executive action to that extent.
It also seeks to reinstate President George W. Bush’s 2007 executive order authorizing the CIA to capture, detain and interrogate suspected members of “al Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces.”
