WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former CIA Director John Deutch, who was found to have ``intentionally'' used nonsecure home computers to process secret reports, showed contrition when he went before a closed Senate hearing on Tuesday.

Deutch was questioned by the Senate Intelligence Committee...

``Throughout his tenure as (CIA head), Deutch intentionally processed on those computers large volumes of highly classified information (including) Top Secret Codeword material,'' it said.

``All were connected to or contained modems that allowed external connectivity to computer networks such as the Internet. Such computers are vulnerable to attacks by unauthorized persons,'' the report said.
