In response to another question Brennan said that the

Obama Administration has the necessary legal authorisation to use force outside "hot" battlefields. "I believe we currently have the authority to take action against al-Qaeda and associated forces," he said. Brennan said the CIA is out of detention business and it should stay that way. "I believe CIA's subject matter expertise should be leveraged for the effective interrogation of individuals who are lawfully held in the US custody or in the lawful custody of a foreign government," Brennan said. "I believe that CIA's role in rendition of an international terrorist should be primarily limited to providing intelligence to assist US or foreign government department or agencies in transporting these terrorists to a location where they will stand trial for their terrorist crimes," he said. Brennan said the US faces threat from terrorist organisations other than al-Qaeda and its associated forces. "We confront those threats using a variety of diplomatic, economic, homeland security, law enforcement, intelligence, and military authorities and tools," he said. "We live in a dangerous world, and I cannot say we will never face another armed conflict with a terrorist organisation," he said in response to a question. In his disclosure to Senate Intelligence Committee, Brennan revealed that he received two gifts from an Indian official Alok Prasad, one a white marble bowl and another a Paper Mache container with gold color inlay, and floral design on lid.
