that allegation from dianne feinstein. but it is a question as to i guess your definition or popular definition of monitoring. what u.s. official -- we haven't heard the cia go into any details officially of what happened. but u.s. official says what indeed the cia did was what they do in every government agency, which is to maintain logs of the use of computers, they're mandated to do this. and when they caught wind that the senate intelligence committee staff had gotten ahold of a document they thought they shouldn't have, they went back into the logs that were kept of the committee computers, went back some three years and discovered that in fact the committee staff had gotten ahold of these documents. so was it monitoring? it does seem to be that. >> jonathan, let's get it down. how could they know the committee staff had access to a document they didn't want it to have unless they hacked into or somehow got into their systems, or got into one of the people on the staff? how could they have known that they had this inf

why is there a fight here between brennan, the cia director and dianne feinstein?line of interest to the american people here? >> the bottom line is that moving to the dark side, their world is our world, it deeply compromised the united states. it compromised the real source of our power, chris, our moral authority. and everyone knows it now as well. the torture was ineffective in terms of any intelligence gains. that's what is clear. what everyone now is covering up is who did what, who ordered what. and the fact is every reporter involved here knows something. it was driven out of the white house. the white house in the presidential daily briefs was getting daily briefing as to the yield of torture. they were driving this program. and there has been no accountability. who is the only person who is serving time for any of this? john kiriakou, who leaked information, much of it disinformation favorable to the bush administration to a reporter. that's it. one guy. that's an issue of accountability that dianne finally has been pushed to the wall, is pushing back to

and senator dianne feinstein did not say his name today, but "the new york times" reports tonight ity to be this person who is officially the chief deputy general counsel of the cia which means he would be the number two in that office. the reasoning goes that the number one job in that office has been vacant since last fall, so it would make sense that this number two guy would be acting general counsel until somebody new could be confirmed to lead the office. if it is him, if that is who she is talking about, he signed off, reportedly signed off internally at the cia in 2005 when the agency decided to destroy those videotapes of those torture sessions. i mean, interrogations. same guy. our country must sometimes act in secret, or at least arguably our country must sometimes act in secret. we must have, for example, a spy service to spy. but the only way we can have secret government and still remain a democracy is if there is some part of our government that is allowed to oversee what the secret agencies do. if those agencies use their clandestine tactics against the government, th
