Senate Panel to Probe Treatment of CIA Prisoners
------------------------------------------------



The Senate Intelligence Committee has agreed to establish a review of
the CIA’s treatment of prisoners in the so-called war on terror. The
probe will focus on the imprisonment and interrogation of 100 prisoners
in overseas jails. Most of the panel’s work will be held in secret, and
it’s not expected to recommend filing any criminal charges.
