Democrats charged Tuesday that the CIA has released documents about congressional briefings on harsh interrogation techniques in order to deflect attention and blame away from itself.

"I think there is so much embarrassment in some quarters [of the CIA] that people are going to try to shift some of the responsibility to others - that's what I think," said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who sat on the Senate Intelligence Committee and was briefed on interrogation techniques five times between 2006 and 2007.

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said he finds it "interesting" that a document detailing congressional briefings was released just as "some of the groups that have been responsible for these interrogation techniques were taking the most criticism."

Asked whether the CIA was seeking political cover by releasing the documents, Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said: "Sure it is."

The CIA has long been on the receiving end of harsh rebukes from Congress - on intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq, on secret prisons abroad and on the harsh interrogation techniques used on terrorism suspects. But with the release of records showing that it briefed members of Congress along the way, the CIA has effectively put lawmakers on the defensive.

It’s about f4CK1N# time someone stood up to these corrupt pieces of garbage.

Let us hope REAL AMERICANS get fed up with the Marxism that is being dumped on us and are ready to revoke it in 2010 and 2012.

They are bureaucrats looking out for themselves. Surprise. The Rats thought they were all on their side, but failed to recognize that when you threaten people with jail, ruin and humiliation that they are likely to turn on you with all the information they have.
We can only hope the Pelosi looses her Speakerhood over this..the country would be better off with her sitting in SFO wondering what happened to her plane.

[a fool in paradise]

Democrats use the Stalinist tactic of revisionist history.

They find it very unfair when you use their own words against them.

The RATS have been trying to destroy the CIA (and the USA) for 40 years. They are shameless traitors.

Liar. The truth is that the DEMOCRATS wanted to destroy the Bush administration - Pelosi was the first to say she wanted it investigated. So, they opened the proverbial can of worms and now they're on the hook. Couldn't happen to a slimier group of low life.

God knows the GOP apparently isn't!!!!!!

“Democrats charged Tuesday that the CIA has released documents about congressional briefings on harsh interrogation techniques in order to deflect attention and blame away from itself.”

Truth IS a defense. I seem to remember that from my green bean years as a kid. Gee, they must have missed that day in Civics Classes, but should have covered it in law school unless they were simply “Present” when that was covered.

“Democrats express oturage that their selective decallsification of memos is being exposed”

meanwhile Cheney continues to call for declassification of studies abot thwarted terro plots, that he knows exist in the files of his office.

How honorable, Sandy Berger would have just stolen them, rewritten them with his company logo, and sold them back to the govt as an “antiterrorism study”

Our CIA leakers can beat up your CIA leakers!!!

The Same C.I.A. that still doesn’t know the soviet union collapsed?
Bet those Dems aren’t too scared.

[Mind Freed]

Someone please tell the demmies that only punching bags don’t hit back. What did they expect, they are dragging the CIA through the mud.

[Nickname]

I hope the Dems just keep right on dissing the CIA. :)

[GingisK]

Well, the Democrats were the ones to declare that war. The CIA ranks "dead last", so to speak, among those I would make an enemy.

I wonder if I'm too old to join the CIA?

[chris_bdba]

This is hysterical! Keep talking dumb@$$e$ and more will trickle out hopefully the Friday before the 2010 elections they will send out something that will really look bad!

[sportutegrl]

Are you referring to the CIA or the Democrats?

[technically right]

Like that old song says,”Don’t tug on Superman’s cape, don’t p*ss into the wind, don’t pull the mask off that ol’ Lone Ranger, and don’t f**k with the CIA.”
