Undergrad Neenan Publishes Op-Ed on CIA Torture
Alexandra Neenan, an undergraduate major in International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, writes that while the torture and enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA during the War on Terror were ineffective and morally wrong, releasing a Senate special report on the practices was a strategic blunder.
The remarks came in a Dec. 18 POV article on BU Today titled “Recent Revelations of CIA Torture Were Unnecessary.”
In her article, Neenan writes:
Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Cal.) and her cronies are using their last vestige of power in the twilight of the Democrat’s Senate majority to make a political move. Even former Democratic committee member Bob Kerry condemned the current committee’s Democrats for partisanship. What they are doing is reckless, selfish, and obtuse.
