CIA Inspector Being Inspected

Michael Hayden, Director of the CIA, has ordered an inquiry into the work of John Helgerson and his office. Who's that? He's the Inspector General of the CIA, whose job is to monitor and provide reports on the work of the CIA.

Apparently, agency operatives are pissed about Helgerson's aggressive investigations of the C.I.A.’s detention and interrogation programs - they say he's launched a crusade against those who participated in them.

Seems like less than ideal working conditions - you're just doing your job, but when there's an investigation some don't like, one is launched against you?! Hayden says it's not an investigation, just an inquiry to help the group to do their job even better. That clarification makes it all better, right?

    • The CIA videotaped its interrogations of two terror suspects in 2002 and destroyed the tapes three years later out of fear they would leak to the public and compromise the identities of U.S. questioners, the director of the agency told employees.

      Great.
