The CIA has launched an investigation into whether one of its own internal boards designed to screen books by former agents for national security concerns has instead been censoring them for political reasons, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.

Citing anonymous sources, the newspaper reported the investigation came after complaints about how the agency’s Publicans Review Board dealt with books about subjects like waterboarding and other harsh interrogation measures.
