CIA computer security specialists discovered Deutch had placed large volumes of classified material on personal computers in his home. Deutch deleted "more than 1,000 classified files from his personal computers" and he "declined to be interviewed by the CIA's security officials," reports the TIMES' James Risen, according to publishing sources. MORE Deutch told the CIA that he wanted to keep the Macintosh computers in his home after he left the government. Deutch explained how he wanted them because he was using them for his personal banking, reports the TIMES. Current CIA Director George Tenet and other senior CIA officials "did not immediately report Deutch's possible security lapses to the White House or congressional oversight committees," states an inspector general's report on the Deutch case. Their delay in telling the Justice Department about the case allowed a one-year time limit on appointing an independent counsel to lapse. MORE... 17,000 pages of documents discovered in files on Deutch's computers were "top-secret files about a wide range of CIA activities, including presidentially approved covert action programs." Risen: "Deutch joined the Clinton administration in 1993 as under secretary of defense for acquisitions and technology. In 1994, he was named deputy secretary of defense, the No. 2 post at the Pentagon. In May 1995, Deutch was confirmed as director of central intelligence. When Deutch moved to the CIA, he named as deputy director Tenet."
