| | + | Facing mounting criticism of the renditions policy, CIA director [[Michael Hayden]] defended it in a September 2007 speech to the [[Council on Foreign Relations]]. The session included a [[non-denial denial]] of allegations that the agency uses [[waterboarding]] and other methods of torture. According to an ''Associated Press'' report, Hayden claimed that: |
| | + | |
| | + | :The renditions have been "conducted lawfully, responsibly, and with a clear and simple purpose: to get terrorists off the streets and gain intelligence on those still at large," Hayden said. |
| | + | |
| | + | :...He said media reports "cost us several promising counterterrorism and counterproliferation assets" because CIA sources stopped cooperating out of fear they would be exposed. In one case, he said, news leaks gave a foreign government information that allowed it to prosecute and jail one of the CIA's sources. In a 20-minute question-and-answer session with the audience, Hayden disputed assertions that the CIA has used mock drowning, stress positions, hypothermia and dogs to interrogate suspects — all techniques that have been broadly criticized. |
| | + | |
| | + | :"That's a pretty good example of taking something to the darkest corner of the room and not reflective of what my agency does," he told one person from a human rights organization.<ref>Adam Goldman, "[http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iPMxKLv8VMTyTbkVgGpLC53w3lQg Hayden: CIA Had Fewer Than 100 Prisoners]", ''Associated Press'', September 8, 2007.</ref> |
