STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON THE NOMINATION OF JOHN BRENNAN AS CIA DIRECTOR
January 7, 2013
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following statement on the nomination of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency:
“I appreciate John Brennan’s long record of service to our nation, but I have many questions and concerns about his nomination to be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, especially what role he played in the so-called enhanced interrogation programs while serving at the CIA during the last administration, as well as his public defense of those programs. I plan to examine this aspect of Mr. Brennan’s record very closely as I consider his nomination.”
