National Security: If CIA Director Leon Panetta really has claimed to his old friends in Congress that the agency was lying to them, the impact will be unprecedented. Do we have a mole running Langley?
Signed by Reps. Anna Eshoo, Alcee Hastings, Rush Holt, Jan Schakowsky, Adam Smith, Mike Thompson and John Tierney, the curt message said:
"Recently you have testified that you have determined that top CIA officials have concealed significant actions from all Members of Congress, and misled Members for a number of years from 2001 to this week. This is similar to other deceptions of which we are aware from other recent periods."
The Democrats' letter went on to ask Panetta to "correct" publicly a May 15 statement to CIA employees that it was against agency policy and practice, and "against our laws and values," to mislead Congress.
Could it be any clearer that these members of a congressional panel in charge of intelligence matters — more than half of the House Intelligence Committee's Democrats, including the three top-ranking majority members under the chairman — consider the intelligence community to be the enemy?
The letter reads not like the national security concerns of the elected representatives of the people, but rather like an ACLU cease-and-desist threat.

Do a grizzly go potty in de woods?
A democrat spook?
Mole at CIA?
How about moles in Congress and their staff. And blabbermouths too.
rumours are that he's controled by Soros country.
I’d be more worried about a security threat in Congress — including some members of Congress.
Panetta is a klintonista and I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.
Treason is, as treason does.

Yes, because they consider anyone w/ intelligence to be a threat to their plans.... like TARP, Porculus, Cap & Trade....
>Treason is, as treason does.
Wait... how does Murtha fit into this picture?
I sure hope it is true. Would love to see Nan's tail in a huge vise.

Or Leaky Leahy!
Democrats want to DESTROY US intelligence just like they did in the 70’s; it’s how these people think.
They think the USA is the problem.
It’s so sad watching the Democrats destroy our country.
A doubl agent at the CIA?
Well, yea that would be Leon Panetta
The rot starts at the head.
But clearly Panetta testified to something big in closed session that Democrats are now using to clobber our spies.Another letter, from House Intelligence Committee chief Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, to the panel's ranking Republican, Peter Hoekstra, charged that Panetta's secret testimony suggested the committee "has been misled, has not been provided full and complete notifications, and (in at least one occasion) was affirmatively lied to."
Reyes and other Democrats on the committee won't tell the public what exactly the so-called "significant actions" concealed from Congress were, or what the "affirmative lie" was.
Ironically, they're hiding behind a smoke screen of governmental secrecy, with one House aide telling Politico that "the details behind the letter are apparently at very high levels of classification."
Making up stuff about secret testimony.
Man, this has to be the first time Democrats have pulled this.
PD thanks for that pic, the CIA train may also run over that BHO bus at the next double crossing!
