After Months of Denials, C.I.A. Admits to Improper Access of Senate Computers

After conducting an internal investigation of its agents activities related to certain sensitive Senate Intelligence Committee computers, the Central Intelligence Agency has announced that some of its officers "improperly penetrated a computer network" belonging to the Senate committee. All the more damning is the fact that the files the C.I.A. officers accessed related to a report compiled by the Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by California Senator Dianne Feinstein, which is reported to be highly critical of the C.I.A.'s detention, interrogation and rendition program carried out under the Bush administration.
