-Feinstein to step down as ranking Democrat on Senate Intelligence Committee
The Senior United States Senator from California Diane Feinstein has announced that she will relinquish the post of ranking Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on intelligence when the new congress convenes early next year.
Feinstein is currently the chair of that committee, a position that will be taken over by Republican Richard Burr in January.
The announcement comes amid a dispute between Feinstein and Secretary of State John Kerry over a forthcoming report on CIA counterterrorism efforts since 2001. The report is widely seen as a condemnation of the widespread use of techniques like waterboarding on detainees in US custody, many of which qualify as torture under the Geneva conventions.
Kerry announced on Friday that he would delay the release of the report over Feinstein's objections, citing the interests of the intelligence community in keeping certain tactics secret.
Feinstein is the second major figure in Washington's National Security circle to announce she is stepping down. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced his resignation on 24 November.
