Democrats say the goal is to "erase history" and make it harder for the public to ever learn the complete details of the 6,770-page report that documents the CIA's harsh treatment of detainees after 9/11.
Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, says federal courts have ruled that the report is a congressional document, which is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Burr says he directed his staff to retrieve copies from agencies.
The CIA and the agency's inspector general's office, as well as the national intelligence director's office, have returned their copies. The FBI and the State, Justice and Defense departments also have copies.
