CIA Cover Up

The CIA made an error of keeping the happenings of
their agency private from the rest of the government. 

The CIA Cover Up

Upon the discovery of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)'s torture program, many Congressional members were outraged. Feinstein, the Senate Intelligence Committee Chair, claims that what the CIA is doing is unconstitutional and it "never, never, never should have existed." The CIA thwarted the checks and balances system of the government in this way because in secrecy, the CIA has the power to do things without being prevented by other branches of government. It is evident the CIA is intent on hiding incriminating information that interests their opposition. The CIA is believed to have hacked into the computers to rid them of evidence against the bureaucracy.

The CIA is going to be in a lot of hot water for awhile. There will be more talk of the checks and balances system to assure that all parts of government follow the Constitution. Meanwhile, the Whistleblower Protection Act will keep federal employees protected from the CIA for reporting  them. Because the CIA had withheld and destroyed information of their "Detention and Interrogation Program," there are going to be many more in-depth searches of the CIA.
