but i think it went back years to frank church, the church committee. i think that's what it was. i think it was death only in times of war it might not have been that. however, what did happen because of it. the death penalty was put back on the books. and robert hanson faced that. instead i think he got something even worse. he went to super max in colorado. bad place. that's the reason. was rosario a spy? >> i had to look it up. in all honesty. she was convicted of two things. espionage was one, and income tax invasion was the other. [laughter] she signed -- yeah, 1040 -- she did not know rick was spying until about a year -- and the stories match on this one. until about a year and a half before he was arrested. she found some note it was obvious this was -- it had to do with the soviets. however, she never once asked one question about the thousands of dollars. the bags of cash in the garage. she spent every single cent she could. so -- and it's jo -- just my personal opinion having listen to the taps. something is going to happen to her. but that's the reason she got the fiv

at the same time, the church committee hearings were being televised and as you know these were first of all a set of congressional hearings that exposed the cia activities, misadventures and follies from the 50s and 60's chaired by senator franken church from idaho. senator frank church. i was watching this and i knew nothing about the cia and no one in the cia. in those days cia had no visibility at all that it just occurred to me as i'm watching all these tales of cia, adventures, that if the cia didn't have lawyers and i had no idea whether they did or not that occurred to me that they might need some now. so i just applied as a shot in the dark. >> host: or they might need some new ones because there was some wrongdoing. >> guest: yeah and that's a phenomenon. i found this a pattern repeated throughout my career. when the cia would get itself in some sort of a pickle or flap the cry would go out and they would say the cia needs more lawyers so i was actually, didn't know at the time that i was hired in that first wave of new lawyers. >> host: so, believe it or not people still ar

what we focused on largely was looking back to the church committee for example, 1975, the church committeewe can show that before the church committee nsa was running amok. they had this operation shamrock eavesdropping on everybody at telegram coming in and out, millions of telegrams a day and all that, operation minaret, anti-war protesters, only when the church committee came along and make it transparent, publicized it through their hearings and reports, there was change made, the creation of the foreign intelligence corp. the first court to ever put any kind of regulation on nsa. and it worked really good for 30 years. wasn't perfect, but at least it was there and it did make some -- i used to make jokes about it but i think it did do a fair amount of good work, better than not being there. what happened after 9/11? the bush administration went around the court, violated the law and bypassed the court and 2-1/2 years later after the new york times revealed the program, they created this thing called the foreign intelligence surveillance amendment which basically legalize what they wer

at the same time the church committee hearings were being televised -- you know first of all congressional hearings that exposed cia activities and misadventures and follies from the 50s and 60's. it was chaired by senator franken or tramon to know and big chunks of the were being televised. i believe on c-span if i'm not mistaken. i was watching this and i knew nothing about the cia. in those days the cia had no visibility at all but it just occurred to me as i'm watching all these tales of cia adventures that cia did -- and i had no idea if they did or not that i occurred to me that they might meet someone so i applied as a shot in the dark. >> host: or they may need some new ones because there was some wrongdoing. >> that as a phenomenon. i found this pattern repeated throughout my career. when the cia would get themselves into some kind of pickler flap the cry would go out that the cia needs more lawyers so hearst wave of new lawyers. >> host: so, believe it or not people still are confused about why the cia is different than any other agency of the u.s. government. so just if you coul

think this went back -- i am not positive but i think this went back years to frank church, the church committee. i think that's what it was, and i think it was death only in times of war, and might not even have been that. however, what did happen because of ames, the death penalty was put back on the books, and robert hansen faced death, bunked stead i think he got something even worse. he went to supermax in colorado. bad place. that's the reason. >> was rosario a spy? and if not, what was she convicted of. >> i had to look this up. all honesty. rosario was convicted of two things, espionage was one. and income tax evasion was the other. she signed those 1040s. she did not know rick was spying until about a year -- their stories match on this one -- until about a year and a half before he was arrested. she found some note that it was obvious this was -- this had to do with the soviets. however, as it -- always said, she never once asked one question about the thousands of dollars, the bags bags of cash e garage, and she spent every single cent she could. so, it's my personal opinion, those gu

church has not. and i was in geneva when the committee was questioning the vatican, and its growing frustration over the course of that day when it was hearing vague words, rather than clear actions that the catholic church has taken. and what the committee has asked for is actions that show accountability. it has asked for cooperation with law enforcement at the national level, rather than hiding away priest priests and . it asks for data to be brought forward and to be shared. the vatican refused to do so. i don't think we have seen an institution at the vanguard of how to deal with sexual violence. rather, weaver seen a continuation, and the committee makes it clear there is an ongoing problem, a continuation of the code of silence. >> ifill: reverend, is there anything-- >> let me ask you the question. >> ifill: go ahead, finish. >> what authority does such a committee have that is so not credible in how they proceeded with their efforts? does it have any jurisdiction or authority? look at the very credibility of the united nations and of such committees who seem to set themselves up as some kind
