Question Time for Nominee Linked to Interrogations

In the months after the 9/11 attacks, at a time when the Central Intelligence Agency had long been out of the interrogation business, senior CIA officers scrambled to build a program to question terror suspects in secret jails abroad. To check on the legality of the harsh interrogation techniques they proposed, they turned to John A. Rizzo, who was then acting as the agency's top lawyer. On Tuesday, Mr. Rizzo will go before the Senate Intelligence Committee for a confirmation hearing to become the CIA's general counsel.
