The C.I.A, or Central Intelligence Agency, is an " independent agency of the United States government responsible for collecting and coordinating intelligence and counterintelligence activities abroad in the national interest; headed by the Director of Central Intelligence under the supervision of the President and National Security Council." (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/CIA)

Well, recently this agency decided to delete internal e-mails, including messages sent by all covert and counterterrorism officers after they leave the C.I.A.

Senate Intelligence Committee members are concerned that it may get rid of key records from some of the agency's most controversial operations. Or as Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein and ranking minority member Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga. would put it, "[it] could allow for the destruction of crucial documentary evidence regarding the CIA's activities."

The C.I.A, on the other hand, disagrees claiming that committee's concerns are overblown and ill informed. 



Well, what do I think about this issue? Personally I'm suprised how easy it seems for the C.I.A (not including getting the move passed) to delete e-mails for basically, ever. Nowadays people worry about what they send, who can see it, and the fact that the "internet is forever." So, whenever people are applying for jobs of colleges, they might have concern for their message history. And of course whenever we delete a certain e-mail, it'll still be there somewhere in the web. In fact, if one tried really hard, they can find it. So it amazes me how the C.I.A can rid of e-mails forever, e-mails maybe conerning things we Americans don't know about.
