Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said in a statement Monday he has “many questions and concerns” about President Obama’s nomination of John Brennan to lead the CIA.
“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.”
