THE GRIM REAPING OF AMERICA
Posted on 08/24/2009 8:45:10 AM PDT by mojito
A "profanity-laced screaming match" at the White House involving CIA Director Leon Panetta, and the expected release today of another damning internal investigation, has administration officials worrying about the direction of its newly-appoint intelligence team, current and former senior intelligence officials tell ABC News.com.
Amid reports that Panetta had threatened to quit just seven months after taking over at the spy agency, other insiders tell ABCNews.com that senior White House staff members are already discussing a possible shake-up of top national security officials.
"You can expect a larger than normal turnover in the next year," a senior adviser to Obama on intelligence matters told ABCNews.com.
Since 9/11, the CIA has had five directors or acting directors.
A White House spokesperson, Denis McDonough, said reports that Panetta had threatened to quit and that the White House was seeking a replacement were "inaccurate."
According to intelligence officials, Panetta erupted in a tirade last month during a meeting with a senior White House staff member. Panetta was reportedly upset over plans by Attorney General Eric Holder to open a criminal investigation of allegations that CIA officers broke the law in carrying out certain interrogation techniques that President Obama has termed "torture."

I guess Panetta, at some level, actually believes in his country.
“According to intelligence officials, Panetta erupted in a tirade last month during a meeting with a senior White House staff member.”

Bet ya’ anything that the fight was with Rahm.
What is amazing about all this is the 0 is following the basic fascist play book.
Concentrate all power in a few hands under the “Great leader’s” direct control.
And our supposed “people’s watchdogs” in the “News Media” maintain a disgraceful complicit silence
“Panetta was reportedly upset over plans by Attorney General Eric Holder to open a criminal investigation of allegations that CIA officers broke the law in carrying out certain interrogation techniques that President Obama has termed “torture.” “
If true, this man in my books is a true American. This doesn’t take away some things in his past that make me believe that he was way over his head at the CIA, and that’s why Obama appointed him...
Just the same...I respect him very much if the above story is true.
But not enough to give up power.
He’s been around Washington a long time. Anyone who’s been there that long has skeletons in the closet. I suspect the CIA operatives know all about them. They can probably make him do all sorts of things.
But wait! We knew that!
Obama is the most successful communist traitor mole in history, anywhere, anytime, bar none.
The extreme left has never trusted our security organizations and have vowed to destroy them. If you are trying to hide something, first get the people looking at you to stop.
If ALL of the Clinton gang just upped and quit on Obama, there would be a major problem!
Not if the traitor mole plans to be a one termer, and his goal is to wreck the USA in the time he has.
Hey, his old pals are terrorists like Ayers, what worse "secrets" can the CIA release about Obama?
You are, I'm sure, correct.
Roger and Amen to that.
That's what it looks like ... guess he's a goner.
Waiting for CIA Operatives to undermine 0bummer like they did Bush.
Countdown begins....
Panetta served Clinton, not Obama. Panetta is senior.
