CIA Admits It Misled Congress in Past, Lawmakers Say
Bloomberg

James Rowley James Rowley – 2 hrs 11 mins ago

July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Six Democrats on the U.S. House Intelligence Committee said the head of the CIA admitted the agency misled Congress since 2001 about “significant actions.”

In a letter to CIA Director Leon Panetta, the six members said he had “recently” testified that “top CIA officials have concealed significant actions from all members of Congress” and “misled members” from 2001 until this week.

The letter, released today, didn’t describe what CIA actions were at issue. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Republicans have been feuding over her claim that the CIA misled Congress in 2002 about harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists.

The letter called on Panetta to “publicly correct” his May 15 statement that “it is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress.”

Separately, the House committee’s chairman, Democrat Silvestre Reyes of Texas, said in a statement tonight that “in rare instances’’ CIA officers “have not adhered to the high standards’’ that the agency sets for “truthfulness in reporting’’ to Congress.

It's not called LYING when done by Reagan or Bush Administrations, it's called NATIONAL SECURITY. It can only be called LYING when done by Democrats, because they no nothing about national security.

Next!

The fact that she may have been correct doesn't mean she's not a dimwitted bitch.

Of course it is altogether impossible that this is the angle to bail out Pelosi which was decided on recently. It is very tidy... it exonerates Pelosi while allowing Leon Panetta to simply have been 'mistaken'.

More of the same. Politics. Here is a conservative slant on this whole deal.

http://frontpagemagazine.com/readArticl ... RTID=35537
The letter signed by seven members of the House Intelligence Committee is at once blatant lobbying for an amendment that would expand Congressional access to classified intelligence and a potent example of its dangers. When the majority of Democrats on the most sensitive committee in Congress are disposed to leak a briefing in order to stigmatize the CIA, it is a harbinger of more dangerous leaks to come. Should the amendment pass, among those with access to state secrets are a congressman who went on a high-profile propaganda trip arranged by Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Intelligence Service, a former federal judge impeached for bribery, and a Democratic Socialist whose husband spent time in prison for check-kiting.
Dems scapegoating the CIA. I hope they screw them all over.
