CIA Director with Egg on his Face

CIA Director John O. Brennan has apologized to leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee after an agency investigation determined that its employees improperly searched computers used by committee staff to review classified files on interrogations of prisoners....

The CIA apology was in sharp contrast to the defiant position that Brennan had taken when the dispute first surfaced publicly in March. At the time, he warned that lawmakers would regret accusing the agency of wrongdoing.

“When the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong,” Brennan said.

I bet Senator Feinstein feels both vindicated and a bit like Frau Merkel.

It could get very interesting. The State department accidently (sure ) sent an AP reporter an internal memo saying in no uncertain terms they agreed with the censure according to NPR.

She's been getting a little lippy with the Leftys. Obama was probably the one snooping around anyway.
She needs to be taught a lesson.
