Christopher Burgess, who was a CIA Officer before and after 9/11, said he he found President Obama's language about torture "extraordinarily nonchalant".

The US president defended CIA Director John Brennan and acknowledged the US tortured prisoners after 9/11. He said "we tortured some folks". His comments come as the Senate prepares to release a report on the CIA's interrogation programme.

He said Mr Brennan had his "full confidence" despite admitting the agency had searched Senate computers during the investigation. Mr Obama has previously said the methods used by the CIA on al-Qaeda prisoners at secret "black sites" outside the US amounted to torture.
