NYT: CIA director controversially orders investigation of CIA Inspector General.

"A report by Mr. Helgerson’s office completed in the spring of 2004 warned that some C.I.A.-approved interrogation procedures appeared to constitute cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, as defined by the international Convention Against Torture. Some of the inspector general’s work on detention issues was conducted by Mary O. McCarthy, who was fired from the agency last year after being accused of leaking classified information. Officials said Mr. Helgerson’s office was nearing completion on a number of inquiries into C.I.A. detention, interrogation, and 'renditions' — the practice of seizing suspects and delivering them to the authorities in other nations."

Kinda clumsy way of saying what I mean, but Bush has corrupted the system and now how do you reestablish the rule of law?
