CIA Calls for Inquiry of its Own Inspector General

CIA Director Michael Hayden has called for an unusual inquiry into the work of Inspector General John Helgerson.

Helgerson took the job in 2002 and has issued several reports critical of the agency, from its handling of intelligence leading up to the attacks of Sept. 11, to its interrogation of terrorism suspects.

Mark Mazzetti, national security correspondent for The New York Times, talks with Robert Siegel.
