Obama: Bush-era CIA tactics 'brutal and wrong'

President Barack Obama said that some of the tactics described in a Senate report on harsh CIA interrogations were “brutal”, ”wrong“ and ”counterproductive“ but that releasing the information was an important step in the process of making sure that such a scenario is never repeated.

“One of the things that sets us apart from other countries is that when we make mistakes, we admit them,” Mr Obama told the Spanish-language television network Telemundo.
