| Subject: CIA admits it spied on Senate computers to access upcoming torture report Thu Jul 31, 2014 11:29 pm | |
| CIA employees improperly accessed computers used by the Senate Intelligence Committee to compile a report on the agency's now defunct detention and interrogation program, an internal CIA investigation has determined.
Findings of the investigation by the CIA Inspector General's Office "include a judgment that some CIA employees acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding reached between SSCI (Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) and the CIA in 2009," CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said in a statement.
The statement represented an admission to charges by the panel's chairwoman, Dianne Feinstein, a Californian Democrat, that the CIA intruded into the computers her staff used to compile the soon-to-be released report on the agency's use of harsh interrogation methods on suspected terrorists in secret overseas prisons during the Bush administration.
