US President Barack Obama is to visit the CIA, in a bid to reassure staff stung by the release of memos detailing harsh interrogation techniques.
The visit follows comments by a former CIA chief who said the memos would limit its ability to pursue terrorists.
Mr Obama released the memos last week but said CIA staff would not be prosecuted for the methods, which critics say are torture.
It has been revealed that two al-Qaeda suspects were waterboarded 266 times.
