No impact.
It's not as if this info. is a secret.
I think gov't agencies just oppose any releases of information.
Possibly for legitimate reasons, but mostly to avoid embarrassment.
Probably both legitimate and embarrassment. As long as no intel assets are put at risk the release may not hurt a thing. But I do wonder about cooperation of third countries in our efforts to combat terrorism and ISIS. This is something that must be weighed. It is my understanding all this stopped sometime in the Bush administration. I think we all knew we were doing some as they call it enhanced interrogation. But if it has stopped, probably a good 8 years ago, why release it? You can stop something that has already been stopped.
Those who wanted it stopped have already won the day. So why release it in the first place?
