If you've followed even a bit of the Snowden Affair over the ten months or so, you will know that Sen. Feinstein, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has been one of the most reliable defenders of the NSA and the rest of the intelligence community as they seek to spy on everyone all of the time. She seems tho have found nothing wrong with the NSA monitoring all of our communications without any probably cause whatsoever. It's probably not too much of an exaggeration to remark that if the NSA installed cameras in the women's bathrooms at JFK airport, that Feinstein could be counted on to defend the practice.
Keeping that in mind, it was a bit of a surprise to learn that the CIA has been spying on her committee.
Because pissing off the people who decide how much money your agency is going to get doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Nor is providing firm evidence to the Senate that yes, you guys truly are out of control.
There used to be a joke that the difference between the Navy and the Boy/Girl Scouts was "competent adult leadership". Seems to me that the same joke applies to our intelligence community.
The Price is WRONG.
