    The CIA director has apologized to US lawmakers after an investigation revealed the agency has penetrated to Senate computers over interrogation documents.



    John Brennan says some CIA officers had indeed acted beyond their authority and in a manner inconsistent with the deal between Senate and the agency about access to intelligence files.

    In March, Brennan dismissed allegations the agency had spied on Senate intelligence committee investigators probing torture allegations.

    The spying flap and the larger dispute over decade-old CIA interrogation practices have poisoned relations between Senate Democrats and the CIA.
