Flutterby™! : Your out of control shadow government for the day

Senator Mark Udall claims Obama knew the CIA was surveilling the members of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Torture.

McClatchy and the New York Times reported Wednesday that the CIA had secretly monitored computers used by committee staffers preparing the inquiry report, which is said to be scathing not only about the brutality and ineffectiveness of the agency’s interrogation techniques but deception by the CIA to Congress and policymakers about it. The CIA sharply disputes the committee’s findings.

To quote Matthew Green ‏@matthew_d_green:

There is a fundamental problem when NSA/CIA employees can surveil oversight committees without expecting an immediate, severe jail sentence.

But we have a severe oversight problem in general: Thomas M. Harrigan, DEA deputy administrator, told the House Oversight Committee that 'Every Single Parent' Opposes Marijuana Legalization.

Either this man is incompetent, or he's lying to the House Oversight Committee. In either case, he should be fired, and those in positions of responsibility who allowed him to rise to his current position should be severely sanctioned.
