The five CIA personnel involved in improperly accessing the database of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) during its investigation of the agency’s interrogation program will not be disciplined, the agency said today.
“The Board found that no discipline was warranted for the five CIA personnel under review because they acted reasonably under the complex and unprecedented circumstances involved in investigating a potential security breach in the highly classified shared computer network,” former Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), who led the Accountability Board that reviewed the matter, said in a statement on Wednesday.
"I continue to believe CIA's actions constituted a violation of the constitutional separation of powers."
