Actually, the headline should read:
The secret CIA committee, appointed by CIA chief Brennan, and consisting of several active CIA agents, directed to investigate the CIA's illegal spying and breaking into congressional computers used by congress to investigate CIA torture and war crimes, will release a secret report clearing the CIA of any wrongdoing for its Cybercrimes.
The CIA apparently welcomed this CIA report on the CIA with glee, stating that even the CIA clears it of any wrongdoing. It is unknown whether the CIA will allow the CIA to release the actual CIA report on the CIA to the Public or even congress.

The panel will make that recommendation after the five C.I.A. officials who were singled out by the agency’s inspector general this year for improperly ordering and carrying out the computer searches staunchly defended their actions, saying that they were lawful and in some cases done at the behest of John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director.
While effectively rejecting the most significant conclusions of the inspector general’s report, the panel, appointed by Mr. Brennan and composed of three C.I.A. officers and two members from outside the agency, is still expected to criticize agency missteps that contributed to the fight with Congress.
Don't you feel better now? More secure? Safer? At far less risk? Isn't it nice how the CIA can assign hand picked researchers from the CIA to investigate the CIA about the CIA's illegal spying on congress? Are you surprised about the result, or was the result already written before the committee was even appointed?
Who the fuck decided to allow the CIA to investigate itself?
