Dianne Feinstein Publicly Calls Out the CIA


Earlier on today, Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee (SIC) accused the CIA of a host activities that are potentially criminal and unconstitutional. These activities relate to the cover-ups and intimidation aimed at senate investigators looking into CIA post 9/11 detention and interrogation programs. This incident in its very public nature is an indicator of the tensions between the SIC and the CIA. After the Snowdon revelations and this incident, I wonder if we will be seeing some changes in terms of increased government oversight of intelligence.
You can watch the speech at the New York Times websites.
