Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts, released a statement on the DOJ’s torture investigation:
This is clearly a significant issue, and I applaud Attorney General Holder’s move to conduct a preliminary review into the interrogations conducted by the CIA,” Whitehouse said. “Holder has given this issue the consideration it deserves, and I am confident that the rule of law, which was so blatantly ignored during the Bush Administration, will be vindicated.
