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.

Harry Reid better take notice or else the justice department might start investigating real estate transactions in Nevada.

"Nicely stated and so sweet. Karma. Big time..."

No way the Obama Chicago Mafia Thug Admin is going to allow that squeaky wheel Pelosi become a huge negative distraction to their party while they try and fleece America. She's gone... at least stepping down as Speaker of the House.

Re#143 Agreed. That the MSM has the green light speaks volumes on the WH stance. Her ego and perception of her own power will result in her not going easily. There’s still a ways to go before she goes. Happily...

the country does not believe in itself much anymore.

No doubt about it...If the prevailing American attitudes of today were in place sixty-eight years ago, we would have been defeated by the Axis.

They just reported on Fox that Pelosi issued a statement that she wasn’t critcizing the men and women at the CIA but rather the Bush administration. Her advisors need to tackle her.

Barney!

It’s time to cut the blarney, vote Barney for Speaker!

It’s time. If not now, when? If not Barney, who?

The First Openly Homosexual Speaker of the United States.

Perhaps he may even get married.

He could pull an endrun around Steny.....get him while he’s not looking.....teabag him into submission.....who knows what allies Barney may gather, after all, politics makes strange bedfellows!

I wonder how many perjury charges a prosecutor could have gotten out her recent statements if she had said them under oath?

>They will have to take that gavel from her cold dead hands.

Exactamundo.
And I don’t believe for one second that members of the democrat caucus will do anything but defend her, no matter what.

“They just reported on Fox that Pelosi issued a statement that she wasn’t critcizing the men and women at the CIA but rather the Bush administration.”

That is BS. She was specifically asked yesterday(as you probably know) whether she was saying that the CIA LIED TO HER AND SHE SAID YES!

Clearly her botox has gone to her brain....lol

Wonder if she will prove the old adage about ‘scorned women’ before this is all over? Obama has thrown her into the dustbin of history. Me thinks she will not go quietly into the night...lol
