CIA asks Justice Department to review report on secret prisons
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Immediately after The Washington
Post revealed last week that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
has been operating a secret prison system abroad, the spy agency sent
a report to the Justice Department requesting a review of the story
to determine whether classified information was leaked.
The action by the CIA general counsel was taken immediately after
the Washington Post article was published on Nov. 2, CNN reported
Tuesday, quoting an official.
The move was similar to the one taken when CIA's undercover agent
Valerie Plame's identity was made public in July 2003.
