Ron Wyden Hits CIA Director John Brennan Over 'Culture Of Misinformation'

[silvershadow]

The CIA's inspector general has confirmed that in the course of a long-running Senate investigation into the CIA's George W. Bush-era torture program, agency employees "improperly accessed" congressional computers. Brennan apologized to members of the Senate Intelligence Committee for that in July.

But at an intelligence conference Thursday, Brennan appeared to backtrack on that apology. He rejected media "narratives" that the CIA had hacked Senate computers.

"I’m not going to take, you know, the allegations about hacking and monitoring and spying and whatever else, no," said Brennan. His resistance seems to rest on a distinction between "hacking" and "improper access."

That set off Wyden -- a longtime CIA critic -- on Twitter.

1. I'm so happy that's he my Senator, but why does Brennan still have a job?

2. neverforget, that has been my question for years...

I do not understand why Obama hangs on to * leftovers. I mean, if they were food in the refrigerator, they would have been rotten and should have been thrown out years ago. Why are guys like Brennen still hanging around?
