The comments drew a challenge from the committee's ranking Republican, Sen. Christopher S. Bond (Mo.), who disputed the suggestion that the CIA had condoned torture of detainees abroad and noted that the Clinton administration had ordered dozens of renditions. Bond also pressed Panetta to explain where the CIA would put captured al-Qaeda terrorists with the CIA's secret prisons shuttered and the military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be closed. Panetta acknowledged that some issues have yet to be resolved, including the fate of captured al-Qaeda operatives who cannot be tried in court but are too dangerous to be set free.
