In response to the CIA's first Tweet, Zeke Johnson, Director of Amnesty International USA's Security & Human Rights Program, issued the following statement:
"The CIA's first Tweet would be funny if it weren't for the agency's use of torture and extrajudicial executions. They should put as least as much effort into following the law as they do into social media. The full truth about the CIA torture and drone strikes should be made public immediately and those responsible for crimes held accountable."
