Report: Brennan Was Regularly Briefed on Torture Under Bush 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
The news agency Reuters is reporting John Brennan, President Obama's
nominee to head the CIA, had detailed knowledge of the agency's torture
program while serving there under President George W. Bush. Official
records apparently show Brennan received regular internal CIA updates
about the progress of torture techniques, including waterboarding. It is
unclear if Brennan raised any objections at the time he was made aware.
