'''The darkest corner of the room''' has been a recurring catchphrase in recent attempts by the U.S. [[Central Intelligence Agency]] to defend the most controversial aspects of its operations.
==Known examples of its use==
*General [[Michael V. Hayden]], September 7, 2007: "Just as they report on the terrorists, it's the job of journalists to report on the how the war against terrorism is being fought. And when their spotlight is cast on intelligence activities, sound judgment and a thorough understanding of all the equities at play are critically important. Revelations of sources and methods--and an impulse to drag anything CIA does to the darkest corner of the room--can make it very difficult for us to do our vital work."
