"Lying is essential to spying. When you work as a CIA officer overseas, you have to lie about who you are and what you do to steal secrets. Espionage is by definition illegal everywhere; a CIA officer abroad must break the law of the land where he or she works. You are duty-bound to lie, cheat and steal.
But when you return to work in Washington, you cannot lie to your fellow Americans. You’d better have a well-calibrated moral gyroscope—especially if you tortured or killed people in secret prisons; if you knew first-hand what happened in those cells; or if you later learned “the horrible details of a CIA program that never, never, never should have happened,” as Feinstein said Tuesday. Those details, she said, are “far different and far more harsh” than we now know.
