WASHINGTON, April 24 (UPI) -- The Bush administration blocked the CIA from telling Congress it had overheard U.S. Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., talking with an Israeli spy, sources say.
Then-CIA Director Porter Goss concluded in 2005 that Harman's wiretapped conversations with an Israeli operative were serious enough to alert lawmakers about the matter, but he was blocked from doing so by former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who allegedly wanted to protect Harman as a Bush administration ally, unnamed sources told Friday's New York Times.
