Expect the Kenyan to throw Leon Panetta under the bus very soon.

...and it would be right & proper for the GOP to defend Leon Panetta in this instance. With the "Gorelick Wall" re-established, CIA's hands were effectively tied in what is now a law enforcement matter.

Then the blame should go directly to the DHS ....

I would not defend the CIA to teach them a lesson. When Rumsfeld planned to consolidate intel gathering function to DIA in lieu of CIA, the CIA did not hesitate to leak DoD mistakes and op failures to the press to undermind Rumsfeld and military to defend their turf while our forces were in Iraq. The Dems and MSM savaged GWB with the leaks. Remember Valerie Flame and her husband who acted on behalf of the CIA by verbally reporting one thing to the CIA after his trip to Chad and writing an oped for the NY Times reporting total opposite. That oped did damage to the US credibility internationally and hurt GWB domesticly and gave ammo for the anti war left.
The CIA leaked this info to get back at Obama who planned to review CIA participation in torture and if necessary prosecute the agents for doing it. Let the CIA and Obama savage each other. If the GOP is wise, sit out of this fight and let both kill each other. They both (CIA and Obama) deserve each other.

Sorry, NO! This is on Panetta and Obama. Leon should have known and if the renewed wall truly interfered, Panetta had an obligation under his oath to confront the President and resign, if necessary, in a loud and public manner. Hillary's hands are dirty too. Napolitano is a sick joke.
