WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Policies allowing U.S. intelligence employees to moonlight for private companies will be reviewed, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair said Wednesday.
Testifying before the House Intelligence Committee, Blair said he'd send a report on the topic to Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., the Washington publication Politico reported.
Referring to a book revealing that CIA employees had worked for hedge funds and financial firms to apply sophisticated deception detection techniques to their investment and management practices, Eshoo told Blair, "I think that the reports that have come out in the last couple of days, I find them disturbing. I really find them disturbing."
She added, "I think we need to have a full review of it. I think there is a real potential for conflict, so I think we need to know," she said. "It sounded more like fiction to me than fact, and that's why I raise it."
Blair said the reports also surprised him, and promised to produce a report on the situation, Politico reported.
