Which Side is the CIA On Anyway?

From al-Reuters:
The United States held captured al Qaeda suspects at two secret
CIA prisons in Eastern Europe until last month when the facilities were shut down after media reports of their existence, ABC News reported on Monday, citing current and former CIA agents.

Eleven al Qaeda prisoners who were held in Eastern Europe were relocated "to a CIA site somewhere in north Africa," ABC reported, citing CIA sources.

The United States scrambled to get all of the suspects off European soil before U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Europe on Monday, ABC said, citing the sources.

ABC said the CIA declined comment and an agency spokesman was not available when Reuters tried to contact him.
Emphasis added.

So I ask again, whose side is the CIA on? And why aren't these leaks being prosecuted? We can spend a few million tracking down who leaked the name of covert CIA agent whose name was never actually leaked, who was never covert, nor an agent...
