What I got, and it could be very wrong, is that they spied on the committee congress set up to investigate them, with the implication that they could use that knowledge to influence the outcome of that committee in their favour. Seems bad in a slightly different way to spying on everyone.
Ok, I can see that being an issue, I'd missed that when I read over the OP.
But I still wonder about Gary's question of "Is it "constitutional" for the CIA to spy on members of congress?" If those congress members weren't directly involved in an investigation of the CIA, why should the constitution treat them any different from the rest of the population when it comes to being spied upon.
