 President Barack Obama decided to place the report in his official presidential record. | Getty Obama won't declassify Senate 'torture report' now, but will preserve it 
  
 President Barack Obama has moved to preserve a Senate report on harsh interrogation tactics used by the CIA during the war on terror, but he's passed up options that could have led to declassification of broad swaths of the review in the near future. 
  
 Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), other lawmakers, and human rights and transparency advocates have been pressing Obama to declassify the nearly 7,000-page unabridged version of the Senate Intelligence Committee "torture report," or to have it declared an official record of one of the agencies that has a copy. 
  
 Obama decided instead to place the report in his official presidential records, according to a letter White House Counsel Neil Eggleston sent to Feinstein on Friday. That means the full-length report will be subject to public requests in 2029, which would trigger a declassification process at that time. 
  
 "I write to notify you that the full Study will be preserved under the Presidential Records Act," Eggleston wrote. "The determination that the Study will be preserved under the PRA has no bearing on copies of the Study currently stored at various agencies. ... At this time, we are not pursuing declassification of the full Study." 
  
 In a statement, Feinstein expressed mixed feelings about Obama's decision. 
  
 "It’s my very strong belief that one day this report should be declassified. The president has refused to do so at this time, but I’m pleased the report will go into his archives as part of his presidential records, will not be subject to destruction and will one day be available for declassification," she said. 
  
 Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) was more blunt in his disappointment with Obama's action. 
  
 "The American people deserve the opportunity to read this history rather than see it locked away in a safe for 12 years," Wyden said. "When the president-elect has promised to bring back torture, it is also more critical than ever that the study be made available to cleared personnel throughout the federal government who are responsible for authorizing and implementing our country’s detention and interrogation policies." 
  
 While an executive summary of the report was released in 2014, the Obama administration resisted a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for the unabridged report, arguing that it was a congressional record, not an executive branch one. Courts accepted that argument, although the American Civil Liberties Union has asked the Supreme Court to take up the issue. 
  
  
  
 White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest declared that "ample information" in the report is already public. 
  
 "A substantial portion of the report has already been declassified. There is an executive summary and other critically important parts of the report have been declassified and released, so the American people could consider it," Earnest said. 
  
 Feinstein, who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee panel at the time the report was prepared, has long favored declassifying the full-length review. 
  
 However, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) has opposed release of further information about the investigation and the underlying CIA interrogation program. 
  
 Since classification policy is largely a matter of presidential discretion, incoming president Donald Trump would have authority to declassify the report or portions of it if he wished, but that seems unlikely since he has advocated a return to waterboarding and other techniques the report sharply criticizes.

 Senate torture report to be kept from public for 12 years after Obama decision 
  
 Barack Obama has agreed to preserve the Senate’s landmark investigation into the CIA’s use of torture after 9/11, but his decision ensures that the document remains out of public view for at least 12 years and probably longer. 
  
  
  
 Obama’s decision, revealed in a letter from White House counsel W Neil Eggleston, prevents Republican Richard Burr, the Senate intelligence committee chairman who has been highly critical of the investigation, from destroying existing classified copies of the December 2014 report.

 Daniel Jones, a former committee staffer who led the torture inquiry, criticized the preservation as inadequate. 
  
 “The bar for positive White House action on this is incredibly low. Preserving the full 6,700-page report under the Presidential Records Act only ensures the report will not be destroyed,” Jones said. “It does little else.” 
  
 The full Senate torture report, which documented brutality by the CIA against at least 119 detained terrorism suspects, will be held out of public view at Obama’s presidential library. 
  
 Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California, Burr’s predecessor as chair and now the vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, said on Monday she was “pleased” Obama had placed the inquiry she spearheaded into his presidential record. Feinstein noted the document would “one day be available for declassification”. 
  
 But that day, according to secrecy and intelligence experts, is a long way off. 
  
 Eggleston wrote to Feinstein on Friday that the classified version of the report, over 6,700 pages in length, will remain restricted under a legal provision, the Presidential Records Act, for 12 years. 
  
 “At this time, we are not pursuing declassification,” Eggleston wrote. 
  
 Under the act, the Senate torture report will be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act for a full 12 years. But expiration of the provision afterward does not mean that disclosure will necessarily follow. 
  
 “CIA or other agencies may contend that all or some of the classified information in the report is still classified 12 years from now,” said Steven Aftergood, an intelligence policy expert at the Federation of American Scientists. After 12 years, a declassification review of the torture report can proceed, “but the review may conclude that the information in it should remain classified”, Aftergood noted. 
  
 Through an investigation that lasted more than six years, the Senate intelligence committee found that the CIA’s torture was far more brutal than the agency had told the Bush administration or Congress, and that the agency had lied about the program’s contours and effectiveness. It found unequivocally that torture produced no valuable counter-terrorism intelligence. President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to make the CIA engage in torture once again. 
  
 Obama came to the aid of the CIA in its dramatic battle with its Senate overseers. The president defended the agency after its operatives surreptitiously spied on the emails and work product of the Senate’s lead investigator, Jones. Through the chief of staff, Denis McDonough, Obama’s White House fought for months throughout 2014 to ensure that the vast majority of the Senate report remained classified and out of public view. 
  
 “The administration can, and should, be doing much more,” Jones said. 
  
 “They have ignored requests from senators and others to declassify the full report. Worse, while the full 6,700-page classified report was delivered to the CIA, [office of the director of national intelligence], state, FBI, DOJ and DOD; we’re told individuals with the appropriate security clearances at these agencies have not been able to read the report and learn from the mistakes documented. It’s dumbfounding. The administration’s lack of support – and inaction – continues to be incredibly disappointing.” 
  
 Despite Obama’s decision, Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat on the intelligence committee and an advocate of the report, pledged to build “a bipartisan coalition” starting next month to declassify the report as a measure to check Trump’s pro-torture impulses. 
  
 “The American people deserve the opportunity to read this history rather than see it locked away in a safe for twelve years. When the president-elect has promised to bring back torture, it is also more critical than ever that the study be made available to cleared personnel throughout the federal government who are responsible for authorizing and implementing our country’s detention and interrogation policies,” Wyden said. 
  
 Wyden urged Obama to designate the torture report an agency record, which makes it releasable under the Freedom of Information Act, adding: “Burying the study achieves nothing but to create an information vacuum that gets filled with uninformed and highly dangerous propaganda.” |||||
Output:
President Obama has ensured that the landmark Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture won't be shredded by future administrations—but the public won't be able to read it until 2029 at the earliest. Obama has decided to have the 6,700-page 2014 report preserved in his presidential library, meaning it will be subject to public records requests 12 years after he leaves office, the Guardian reports. The report details the CIA's use of waterboarding and other "harsh interrogation techniques" after 9/11. It concluded that the agency had lied to lawmakers about the program's effectiveness—and that torture hadn't produced any useful intelligence. The Presidential Records Act will allow a declassification review after 12 years, though analysts say the CIA is likely to argue that the information should remain classified. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who had called for Obama to declassify the report before he leaves office, said she's glad it will at least be preserved, Politico reports. "The report represents six years of hard work by dedicated staff, and I firmly believe its 6,700 pages and 38,000 footnotes will stand the test of time," she said in a statement. "I also strongly believe that this must be a lesson learned—that torture doesn't work." Sen. Ron Wyden, a fellow Democrat, argued that the American people "deserve the opportunity to read this history rather than see it locked away in a safe for 12 years"—especially since "the president-elect has promised to bring back torture." (Earlier this year, the CIA's internal watchdog said it had accidentally destroyed the report.)
