Rogers: But I don't think this should be taken and extrapolated that every CIA officer out there is operating under this culture of lawlessness. As a matter of fact I argue they go the extra mile. they are absolutely concerned about making sure they follow the law especially when they're operating overseas and trying to do some really difficult work to keep America safe. Crowley: In the end, though, they're responsible for the actions of their employees. Rogers: Right.

Crowley: think that in some ways, as you've heard, there have been democrats and republicans calling for the resignation of john Brennan at the CIA. Rogers: right. Crowley: Fairly or not, he's at the top, and the question here is, does the -- there's the NSA and all the things that it's been accused of doing, and sort of overstepping its bounds into the privacy of Americans. Now we have the CIA, and that they overstep their bounds, looking at the very committee that's supposed to be watching over the CIA and it gives you this impression that after 9/11 we just went way too far and that we have given up too much in exchange for the safety.

Rogers: And that's why it's so important that the narrative be right, and it be based on the same set of facts. If we can all agree on the same set of facts we'll have an honest dialogue about what the intelligence community should look like and what should they be doing on behalf of the United States. I think that it's tougher in the court of public opinion when the narrative is not based on data points. So if I listen to this debate without hearing the IG report, which I did this week, it sounds like they hacked into the Senate computers at the Senate offices, shocking. But that's not what happened, and so it happened at the CIA with CIA computers, and what happened was, there was a difference in the setting that allowed them to get certain information. The way they did it was, is, again, needs to be held accountable. However, the narrative is different.
