overwhelmingly approved a report that accused the CIA of having run secret prisons in Poland and Romania where terror suspects were interrogated from 2003 to 2005.
The report also criticized Germany and Italy for having invoked a defense of state secrets to obstruct the investigation into the covert program.

Marty claimed that NATO and the United States had reached a secret framework deal after the September 11, 2001 attacks

CIA director Michael Hayden explained that the release of the previously secret report was part of the agency's "social contract with the American people," which included an obligation to "share with the public the information we can."

taking exception to criticism, Hayden said the CIA of old is a far cry from the agency of today.

"I don't think Americans need to look at these documents and say, 'Oh my God, what are they doing now?"
