A dispute between the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Senate Intelligence Committee may have spilled into dangerous territory, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said on Wednesday, following a New York Times report that agency operatives gained access to the computers being used by lawmakers to investigate the agency.
.
"This is kind of death of the Republic kind of stuff," Maddow said. "The whole separation of powers thing almost pales in comparison to the seriousness of the allegation that a nation's own spy services have been turned against its' own government. Particularly, where that government is supposed to be overseeing the spy services."
.
The Times reported that the allegations exacerbated an ongoing rift between the agency and the committee over the CIA's now-defunct interrogation program, which included waterboarding and other techniques in secret prisons located outside the U.S. Agency officials reportedly grew concerned that committee members had gained unauthorized access to CIA documents in the course of compiling the report, which is reportedly more than 6,000 pages long and highly critical of the agency. The program was shut down by President Barack Obama not long after he took office.
