Senators accuse CIA of spying on US citizens (FBI, Wyden, program)

[Troyfan]

I thought the FBI is supposed to spy on US Citizens. The CIA is supposed to spy on foreigners. I guess no agency is immune from mission creep!

"Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) said in a letter that was partly declassified Thursday that the CIA has been collecting data in bulk in a secret program that could impact Americans' privacy."

The good old CIA. Professional liars. What do you expect? Sad thing is you have Goldman Sachs ex-CIA agent running for the U.S. Senate in my State. What's wrong with that picture.

Only the naive ones.
But that current efforts are being done so ham-handedly it's getting in the news? THAT is a problem.

Oh, if only the CIA was as talented as they think they are.

All those senators need to do is prove it without a shadow of doubt and cut their funding. That's one thing we could all support. Common ground, nobody likes being spied on.
