The US President, Friday, criticised CIA’s previous treatment of terror suspects as having "crossed the line", whilst stating that he could understand why controversial techniques were used in the aftermath of 9/11, reports The Guardian.
"We tortured some folks," Obama said at a White House press conference, ahead of a widely-anticipated Senate report, which is expected to criticise the CIA for abusing terrorist suspects in its custody without yielding any life-saving intelligence.
Obama banned the use of torture shortly after he took office in 2009.
