... But they still have a copy of it.

I don't really understand what story the article is trying to tell. The headline implies the report is gone, but further down the article it says the CIA have a copy in a vault somewhere.

So why is this deletion seen as problematic when the report still exists? Why is this even a story? What is the story exactly?


The title has been modified.... it should have been posted with this title: "Senate report on CIA torture is one step closer to disappearing" ... which is true.


Perhaps implying that such material is not intended to share or be reviewed.
