The Central Investigation Agency (CIA) is unlikely to lose power following the release of a dossier by the United States Senate that said the CIA carried out "brutal" interrogation of Al Qaeda suspects in the aftermath of 9/11, said reports.
Director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University William Banks said that nothing would change and that the CIA is right in every place, conducting paramilitary operations, drone strikes and gathering intelligence, reported the Washington Times.
The report compiled by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee said that the agency has misled the people of America about what it had been doing, reported the BBC.
CIA's director John Brennan said that the intelligence that was gained from the operation was important for the understanding of al Qaeda.
The CIA insisted that the information helped them save many lives.
However, the agency does acknowledge the mistakes in the programme specifically when it was not prepared for the scale of the operation to detain and interrogate prisoners.
