The spat between the CIA and its Congressional overseers has
intensified after Senator Dianne Feinstein took to the Senate floor to
directly accuse the CIA of spying in an effort to undermine a probe of
the agency's torture and rendition program. The Senate Intelligence
Committee's report has yet to be released but reportedly documents
extensive abuses and a cover-up by CIA officials. Feinstein says the CIA
broke the law in secretly removing more than 900 documents from
computers used by panel investigators. She also accused the CIA of
intimidation in requesting an FBI inquiry of the panel's conduct. CIA
Director John Brennan has rejected Feinstein's allegations. Meanwhile,
former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden has weighed in
by accusing Feinstein of hypocrisy for criticizing alleged CIA spying
on U.S. senators while condoning government surveillance of private
citizens. We host a roundtable discussion with three guests: former FBI
agent Mike German, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, and Pulitzer-winning
journalist Julia Angwin, author of the new book, "Dragnet Nation: A
Quest for Privacy, Security and Freedom in a World of Relentless
Surveillance."Related articles
