CIA vs. Senate

The Senate Intelligence Committee spent four years and $40,000,000 to create a 6,300-page report on the CIA’s secret detention and interrogation program. The report castigated the program, charging that the CIA misled the Bush administration and Congress about the use of interrogation techniques that many experts consider torture. The report is still classified although the Senate gave it to the agency for vetting more than a year ago.

The problem now is that it looks like the CIA monitored the computers used for the report. This is probably the case, as the CIA Inspector General’s Office has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations of malfeasance at the spy agency.
