Inhofe claimed the decision to release the report puts American lives at risk and gives US enemies insight into clandestine programs, which have yielded key intelligence. At the end of the day, Inhofe said, it is all about politics.
"The practices that were under review have not taken place since 2009, making the dangerous, untimely release of the investigation purely motivated by party politics," Inhofe added.
The report goes far beyond providing transparency into covert operations, according to the Oklahoma Republican, violating the trust the United States has established with partners around the world by disclosing the countries that contributed to the program.
On Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a summary report that included more than 500 pages of the investigation into the CIA interrogation techniques that were used on alleged al-Qaeda agents, following the 9/11 attacks on Washington and New York.
