Swalwell Commends Sen. Feinstein for Releasing CIA Torture Report
December 9, 2014
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, today issued the following statement after the release of the Senate report reviewing the CIA's detention and interrogation program:
"Torture is not an American value. As Senator Feinstein so courageously said today after releasing the Senate report on the CIA and torture, ‘America is big enough to admit when it was wrong, and confident enough to learn from its mistakes.' This is a mistake we must learn from.
"I know we can fight terrorism and keep America safe without resorting to the techniques of our enemy. We must always be the country that wears the white hat and does the right thing."
