Washington, August 6 (RHC)-- U.S. President Barack Obama is backing Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan in the face of calls for Brennan’s resignation. Brennan admitted last week that CIA officials spied on a Senate panel probing the agency’s torture and rendition program, months after he made an initial denial.

Brennan made the acknowledgment after an internal CIA inquiry found 10 agency employees illegally monitored Senate staffers’ computers. At least three senators have called on Brennan to step down.
