A Constitutional Scandal Worse Than Iran-Contra or Watergate
The stark admission by the CIA's inspector general that the
agency had broken into a classified computer network used by its
overseers at the Senate Intelligence Committee violates the core
principle of separation of powers of governmental branches enshrined in
the U.S. Constitution. Along with the CIA's illegal rendition,
detention, and torture of suspected terrorists and the NSA's secret
monitoring of Americans' phone traffic, it shows that U.S. spy agencies
are in danger of going rogue and need to be severely disciplined. Such
intelligence organizations are supposed to defend the republic and not
undermine it.
