The Obama-Feinstein Reset means the CIA will lose the institutional knowledge it gained from enhanced interrogations since 9/11. Many critics have ripped the agency for not having a professional cadre of jihadist interrogators before 9/11. How exactly the agency was supposed to develop such skills and staff before Langley was allowed to capture and detain jihadists is never explained. Before 9/11, the FBI had near zero knowledge of the Islamic world. As Benjamin and Simon piquantly put it: 'FBI senior managers did not know that there was a difference between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims, while at the top tier of management, officials did not know the most basic facts about al-Qaeda.'
