Obama quietly declines to nominate CIA watchdog
More than a year after the CIA's inspector general stepped down, frustrated members of Congress are urging the White House to fill the internal watchdog position that was central in uncovering abuses inside the spy agency.
"I am disturbed that it has not been filled up to this point," former CIA inspector general Fred Hitz said. "I am wondering what is going on."
The government's inspectors general root out corruption, fraud and other abuses that rarely surface otherwise. Because the CIA's activities are mostly conducted in secrecy, the position is of special value.
