Reacting to the release of the report summary, the Senate Republican leaders insisted that the
techniques utilised aided in the capture of important suspects and the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Earlier, President Obama responded to the report, saying the methods utilized were inconsistent
with US values.
"These strategies did substantial damage to America's standing in the globe and produced it harder
to pursue our interests with search allies and partners," he stated in a statement.
The Senate committee's report runs to much more than 6,000 pages, drawing on large quantities of
evidence, but it remains classified and only a 480-page summary has been released.
"Claims included in this report that assert the contrary are basically incorrect," Senators Mitch
McConnell and Saxby Chambliss said in a joint statement.
