CIA et rapport du sénat: l'agence ne devrait pas perdre de pouvoir

Si les révélations émanant du rapport présenté hier suscitent beaucoup de réactions, il serait étonnant de voir l'influence et les pouvoirs de l'agence être affectés. Ce n'est pas le premier scandale de son histoire et son importance est capitale. Voici un beau topo du Washington Post accompagné de liens qui permettent de dégager les éléments les plus importants du rapport.

 "Indeed, the CIA is in many ways at a position of unmatched power. Its budgets have been swollen by billions of dollars in counterterrorism expenditures. Its workforce has surged. Its overseas presence has expanded. And its arsenal now includes systems, including a fleet of armed drones, that would have made prior generations of CIA leaders gasp.

In part, that is because despite the deep fissures between the CIA and the Senate panel that issued the excoriating interrogation report, the two sides have largely compartmentalized their differences, giving the agency deep congressional backing on a range of covert programs."
