#2No surprises here, of course this is what happens when you create an agency whose mission is to lie, decieve, and break the law, and then give it limited oversight and almost unlimited funding. The CIA's entire history is just one scandal after another.

nod What other agency can take explicit part in countless political coups around the world and come out non-the-worse-for-wear?

Right, the FBI doesn't like the competition.

#9How come nobody in the media is calling this treason? We're talking about a government agency hacking and spying on the US Senate. This is like a Will Smith movie plot about the government "bad guys".
"Improper access"? Are you kidding me? I guess Manning was a fool for not "apologizing" for his "improper access". That would've definitely saved him.
What's worse is that even after Feinstein accused them of hacking and spying, they still did it afterwards [1]. And if they get away with it now, they will most definitely continue to do it.

#10"The committee has been working since 2009 on a comprehensive history of the agency’s antiterror program during the George W. Bush administration"
That makes it sound like the investigation is politically motivated, which I find disappointing. It seems highly likely that some of those practices continued under Obama, and if there's any hint of political leaning in an investigation like this then most people will just ignore it as more partisan bullshit.
