CIA Director Leon Panetta told the House Intelligence Committee that the agency had misled and “concealed significant actions from all members of Congress” dating back to 2001 and continuing until late June, according to a letter from seven Democrats on the panel.
The letter was dated June 26, two days after Panetta appeared before a closed door session with the committee and it asked that the CIA chief “correct” his statement from May 15 that “it is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress.”

ATTENTION! THE CIA DIRECTOR HAS BRIEFED CONGRESS IN A CLOSED DOOR SESSION! SECRETS HAVE BEEN SHARED! THE SECRETS ARE AS FOLLOWS ...
B.S! This is nothing more that Leon following orders from the White House!
They want the heat OFF of Nancy for here earlier comments and this is the ploy they came up with!
Took awhile to concoct this BS to cover Pelosie’s ass. The fix is in
Yeah, sure—misleading statements. They said an even happened at 13:00 and it really happened at 13:03;22. Or maybe they forgot what the meaning of IS is?
Let him make this statement in public.
Congress should take the lead in ceasing their own misleading practices toward the American Public.
BUMP!
There may be nothing more to this than partisan politics, but anytime the director of the CIA says that the CIA has lied to Congress, there should be a full and thorough investigation. It will either expose Panetta as the liar or show that the CIA has in fact lied to Congress, which would be serious.
The fix may be in, but....BUT, now that the CIA staffers have been laid down in froint of the bus, its more likely “good” CIA leaks on the Dems may begin. COLB?????
“He (Peter Hoakstra) said Democrats wanted to help validate Pelosi’s prior claims by establishing other occasions in which the CIA may have misled Congress. Republicans had seized on those remarks, and Hoekstra said Democrats were trying to “make the men and women of the intelligence community public enemy No. 1.””
This is the key phrase buried near the end of the article, i.e. Pelosi did lie and this is nothing but an attempt to cover her wrinkly old ass.
I assume anything that is in agreement with what VP Chenney says, will go missing and said to have never existed. Hope Chenney kept copies of EVERYTHING!
Kudos to the CIA for not trusting the sneering liberal politicians.
I find this absolutely fascinating. The CIA is run by a bunch of progressive democrats. They did everything they could to sabotage Bush. They haven’t gotten any analysis right for 40 years.
Go get ‘em democrats. Clean the whole putrid mess of them out.
The CIA is filled with sneering liberal politicians.
Congress critters have been lying for hundreds of years.
Don’t believe a word Panetta says. Another Clinton re-tread.
Sneering liberal politicians occupy Washington, State Govts, almost all Govt. down to school boards.
Conservatives run businesses for the most part. It’s why they attack the private sector. They are jealous, They have fixed incomes, stuck in a lame position for life, they lash out at Conservatives. Conservatives are happier people.
Our whole government is turning on itself and at the same time the people are coming together and discovering the facts.
