President Barack Obama will not declassify a comprehensive Senate report on the CIA's use of torture but he will preserve a copy in his presidential library, according to a White House letter released December 12, 2016. Obama stipulated that the material remain classified for 12 years, said the letter from White House Counsel Neil Eggleston to Senator Dianne Feinstein, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. / AFP PHOTO / SAUL LOEB

WASHINGTON: Another major leak of top secret materials has again put America’s top spies in hot water – while delivering a coup for anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks. 

The group left the Central Intelligence Agency heavily bruised with the March 7 publication of nearly 9,000 documents it said were only part of a huge trove of records, plans and malware code in its possession – purportedly the entire CIA hacking arsenal.
