The Spin

Narrative A

The secrecy the CIA values and needs to do its work can foster a dangerous environment, which is what several whistleblowers brought to Congress' attention. The House's decision to publicly investigate these allegations, and the report the committee has produced, show just how desperate reform is needed to prevent further disturbing and abhorrent actions at the agency.

Intercept

Narrative B

As the nation’s top intelligence agency, the CIA is committed to transparency and an unrelenting pursuit to improve. To make sure these issues are addressed the CIA is taking every step possible, including establishing a new office for sexual assault response and prevention, and working with outside directors to improve its processes. The past cannot be undone, but the CIA will correct its actions going forward.
