included kalid sheikh mohammed,al beau abizaid as well as the ladies and gentlemened planner of the u.s.s. cole bombing in 2000. they support democratic senator diane fine stein's decision to make the findings public. >> this is a cia that is completely out of control. it is outside of the system of checks and balances of the constitution. they have lied to the white house. they lied to the justice department. they lied to congress about what they were doing. >> in an interview aboby the la times they undermine quote societal and constitutional values we are very proud of. anybody who reads this is going to never let this happen again. michael hayden says the report will be tray u.s. allies overseas and make agency officers at risk. >> this report will lead to an espionage service that is timid and friendless. >>> cia officials aren't saying they defend the techniques but the democrat led senate investigation should not be allowed to rewrite history. they pulled thoughts earlier this year the interrogations provided valuable intelligence. >> it led to a capture of other detainees. >> they told

the u.s.s. coal task force, investigating the attack on the "u.s.s. cole." we had agents on the ground in yemen at the time of the 9/11 attacks. no one knows better about al qaeda and the threat it poses than i do. >> so why do you call dick cheney a liar? surely he knows what went on during that time. >> i think i cited that the report indicated that dick cheney was a liar. based on the things i'm hearing out of dick cheney now and based on the evidence that i know occurred, and it was my job to investigate the al qaeda terrorist network post 9/11. what i have to say is that really dick cheney may be full of crap in what he's saying now. those who have misled, continue to mislead. i looked over the report from senator feinstein's senate select committee on intelligence. frankly, it rings true to the facts as i know them that occurred. somebody needs to be asking what was the basis for going down a road to inflict torture, to inflict duress on our adversaries, and the thought that that would actually result in the elicitation of accurate and reliable informat

remember, some of these men are on trial for the 9/11 attacks and one is on trial for the u.s.s. colek. these men are not in a position to be sent to other countries and relocated elsewhere. the question will be if they are held and tried at guantanamo, or in the united states and, if convicted where they will serve out their sentences or in some instances you know, these are death penalty cases. >> ifill: and of the 60 which are cleared, we are anticipating to see them released in drips and drags all at once in the next few months? >> 52 are yemeni. it is a chloe process to find nations to take in yemenis. i think anyone who's been sort of seduced by the idea that they have 59 slots out there for the men who have been cleared for release are a little bit naive. the state department is leaving the job as of tonight, still having depp mats traveling the world trying to find locations. but this is far from closed and the men cleared for release are far from getting on planes to go. >> ifill: carol rosenberg on case for the "miami herald," thank you so much. >> thank you, gwen. >> ifill:

foreknowledge of the 1993 world trade center bombing and he had foreknowledge of the 2000 attack on the "u.s.s. coleand also had knowledge of a meeting that involved al qaeda members planning other attacks. if they could have gotten information out of him, before these things, obviously he was detained after these things happened. since he was in the know, and since he did have knowledge, even of future attacks, they believed because of this al qaeda meeting, couldn't you make the argument that whatever they did to him, if they kept him awake for 180 hours, it would have been worth it to spare people's lives? >> you're assuming that what the government says he did is true. this is like an indictment, the defense has not made its case and can't make its case because most of the information that's relevant is kept classified. >> i'm assuming what they say is true, because you're assuming what your client says is true. you're taking your client's position and i'm, i can only go by what the department of defense tells us, on face value it seems as though that client was connected enough that he might ha
