Senator Ron Wyden Wants More Drone Documents Declassified
Call made ahead of confirmation hearings for John Brennan later today
One of the most vocal champions for more transparency regarding American drone use on Thursday called for further declassification, hours before confirmation hearings for the next director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
"Now what I'm going to be pressing for today and in the days ahead is declassifying more information about those issues," said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I think you can do it consistent with national security, and that's the next step."
