“CIA personnel improperly accessed computers used by the Senate Intelligence Committee to compile a report on the agency’s use of harsh interrogation methods , according to an internal CIA investigation, contradicting denials of such intrusions by spy chief John Brennan.

Bush administration.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
