CIA Spying on the US Senate?




The CIA Inspector General’s Office has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations of malfeasance at the spy agency in connection with a yet-to-be released Senate Intelligence Committee report into the CIA’s secret detention and interrogation program, McClatchy has learned. The criminal referral may be related to what several knowledgeable people said was CIA monitoring of computers used by Senate aides to prepare the study. The monitoring may have violated an agreement between the committee and the agency. 

The development marks an unprecedented breakdown in relations between the CIA and its congressional overseers amid an extraordinary closed-door battle over the 6,300-page report on the agency’s use of waterboarding and harsh interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists held in secret overseas prisons. The report is said to be a searing indictment of the program. The CIA has disputed some of the reports findings.

When McClatchy’s reports it, you can be sure it is accurate. I have been following the work of Jonathan S. Landay for over a decade now. 

Here is another good article from them:  

And here is an email I sent to the authors of the above report, because the information in their articles is very important – we now have more proof that the CIA is spying on our Congress:

Dear Jonathan S. Landay, Ali Watkins and Marisa Taylor:

Thank you, once again, for doing real journalism. I just finished two articles on the CIA and their spying on staff at the US Senate. From my many years of following the work of Mr. Landay, I know I can trust what you publish to be accurate and truthful. McClatchy’s journalists are a rare breed here in the USA the past dozen years (which is unfortunate). But I wanted to tell you that the work you do is outstanding, and that I am grateful for your work.
