WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee appealed to President Barack Obama to reconsider his administration’s decision to task the CIA with editing a torture report harshly critical of the spy agency’s treatment of terror suspects after the Sept. 11 attacks before it can be made public.

In a letter to the president, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said the White House should head the declassification process. Feinstein’s committee voted last week to publicly release parts of the 6,600-page review, subject to the executive branch blacking out sections compromising national security. Obama has backed that decision, but the White House has said the CIA will take the lead in redacting information.
