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.

“She will continue to get re-elected by the geniuses of San Fransicko forever.”
Support Dana Walsh who is running against her. ;-)

It really was a surprise to me that Panetta stood up for the CIA. After all he is a Rat.
Panetta is Obama’s guy. Pelosi feels she has more power than obama and told rahmbo to back off in the early beginning. Rahmbo has media conferences every morning. People in Clinton’s administration have said Rahmbo leaks information to the media when he is in disagreement with Clinton’s policies during his terms.
Now what do you wanna bet obama and rahm made this happen because Pelosi was not allowing her strings to be manuevered for their agenda they have had since 2006? Which is hard to imagine anyone worse. But it will be a radical and someone who will jump and say how high.
Whatever reason I do not care. Pelosi is a sick, twisted, corrupt, evil animal. But if I am right rahm and obama have a much worse replacement in mind.
I saw that Pelosi retracted her statement on the CIA, she said it was Bush administration. And supposedly no name was given of who it was.
Consider that the CIA may have a copy of Obama’s actual birth certificate.
A couple of observations.
The story that was shared with the one website about obama's real father, that person said the CIA had taken DNA from obama's grandparents drinking glasses and found no link to obama's DNA. Maybe fantasy but something to keep in mind.
If the story on USJF is true, eric holder requested a second 60 days to answer the court on obama's eligibility. That new date is June 11th I believe.
And we have Biden's generated crisis within 6 months of obama's first term which is around June 20th.
Perhaps Pelosi was not going to buy the generated crisis. Or perhaps Pelosi is feeling she will lose her position if she continues obama's agenda. They want her out or they would be talking fast now.
Panetta is on Obama's team now and Obama has no use for Pelosi. He won't mind if she goes under. El Caudillo can then get some sycophant more to his liking for the Speaker's chair.
Pappy Bush accepted the Directorship of the CIA at a time when it had been laid low by the Church Commission and assorted other Democrat malefactions. It was radioactive and a career dead end that few if any others would consider. He did his patriotic duty and did it well.
>>It was radioactive and a career dead end that few if any others would consider. He did his patriotic duty and did it well.
The first statement was the conventional wisdom and, as Bush proved, it turned out to be wrong since he subsequently moved right up the political ladder.
Could we see a VP or President Panetta in the future......
The second, well, yes, never said otherwise.
we don’t want her to die until AFTER the mid-terms. She’s a nice poster girl for what’s wrong with Congress...
I meant “die” politically of course...don’t need a visit from the sunglasses set...
Well, let Wanda make jokes about individuals dying.
PING!
