McCain Opposes Probe Of Interrogation Practices

June 18, 2010 Updated Jul 12, 2009 at 12:34 PM EST WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John McCain says he's against opening a criminal investigation into whether CIA officers tortured detainees during the Bush administration.

The Arizona Republican and former presidential candidate suggested that the fallout from embarking on a criminal investigation would provide a recruiting tool to terrorists.

McCain echoed the words of President Barack Obama, saying that it is time to move forward.

The senator's comments on NBC's "Meet the Press" come as Attorney General Eric Holder considers whether to push forward with such a probe.

McCain questions what purpose would be served by airing out practices that are already known to have taken place and which McCain fought strongly against.
