Panetta to CIA employees: We told Pelosi the truth
Politico ^ | Glenn Thrush

Posted on 05/15/2009 12:12:38 PM PDT by GOPinCa

CIA Director Leon Panetta just sent a stern message to his employees defending the agency against Speaker Nancy Pelosi's criticisms.

His message: We didn't mislead Congress; stay focused on your job.

Panetta's note was sent to reporters via the CIA press office. Here's the key graph:

"Let me be clear: It is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress. That is against our laws and our values. As the Agency indicated previously in response to Congressional inquiries, our contemporaneous records from September 2002 indicate that CIA officers briefed truthfully on the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, describing “the enhanced techniques that had been employed.” Ultimately, it is up to Congress to evaluate all the evidence and reach its own conclusions about what happened."

The full Panetta memo is after the jump.

Hopefully she will stick around and we can pummel her with this thru the 2010 midterms.

Amen. Pelosi will make a great poster child for retaking Congress.

Take a lesson from the democRats. Demonize her and run against her in every Congressional district in the country.

Put her picture in every campaign ad.

The real issue is the politicization of the war by the Demos with Queen Nancy leading the charge.

Yes, this is the real crime; the Rats and Rinos involved with this process are traitors-- period. Even more disturbing, however, are the numbers of Americans who are simply too stupid to understand the danger associated with undermining our military, security, and intelligence services.

Pelosi has provided an unusually graphic example of how lies are used by the Left to manipulate the great majority who will never look beyond Couric etc. for information. Pelosi has delivered to Conservatives a rare opportunity to discredit Leftist leadership-- not just in Congress and in the media, but in our neighborhoods etc.. I, for one, intend to exploit her treachery where and whenever contact with my fellow citizens permits.

I have long thought that Nancy Pelosi is one of the most IQ challenged individuals to ever race congress. She proves it to me more and more every day. I think that she believes that masses are as ignornant as she is.

We have to be careful what we wish for. Hoyer will be Rahm Emanuel’s servant.

Damn right he will be and I’m not sure this wasn’t a carefully executed plan. Pelosi is a pain in the Kenyan Commie’s ass. She’s too demanding and he would love to get rid of her.

They're purposely forcing her to. I'm dying to know why.

I heard yesterday that Hoyer is Rahn's , and by association, O'Bama's man.

As much I love to see Pelosi twist in the wind, Hoyer is going to be at least as bad.

If Panetta had not backed the CIA, he would be a terrible failure as its Director, and he knows it.

I think she will stay because she has dirt on all of them from Obama down. This is why Democrats never go.

I tell my friends she sleeps with eyes open because of all the BOTOX she has used.

Thanks for the ping. Hannity’s interview with Gingrich just aired in my time zone. Newt didn’t pull any punches. He wants to see a privileged resolution for an immediate House investigation, and Pelosi to step aside during the proceedings.

I think that Obama is trying to remove Pelosi. Earlier in the week she introduced him and he spoke about something. When he was finished and began to walk away, Nancy raised her hand and went to the mic and started talking about what a great leader he was and what great leadership he’s shown so far. The entire exchange was very odd and came across as a kiss-up.

Obama wants her out - the question is why? She’s been acting as if she were the President since he was elected. Perhaps he wanted to remind her who was in charge.

Who do you think will take her place?

Even this thread shows the issue, we argue about what Nancy said when and if she listened or slept during the briefing instead of the real treasonous activities of the Left.

We have dug ourselves a real confidence hole, the country does not believe in itself much anymore. Not sure we can survive the loss of confidence, hope I am wrong.
