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.

Pelosi will resign by the end of June.

I agree. I think that’s why Hoyer didn’t defend her yesterday. He wants to be speaker.
Put a fork in her. She’s done.
Get the popcorn, this is going to be fun to watch when the CIA starts leaking documents.

That witch after calling Bush a liar for 8 years, will now leave office known as one of the biggest liars ever in Congress!!! Whoooo - boy!
nancy pleasehoseme has an excuse-the skin was pulled up over her ears (from the face lift she had done the day before the briefing) and just did not hear what was said at the briefing. “Doctor’s excuse”
The political saga between the dynamic duo of “P(ee)” just keeps getting better. Keep the pressure on!
The biotch has backed herself in a corner with her lies and is now swinging wildly trying to get herself out. She is a cronical liar. This is they do when they get caught in a lie.
I just read the whole article. There’s an adult in the room. Thank God.
Yes, darlings, stay focused and let us take care of the jerks in Congress. You do your job and I’ll do my best to take care of mine.
Just sit back and enjoy.
Wow !........maybe sooner than we think . She just got tossed under the bus big time !!
The demonrats always have an excuse. Iced tea or something. I figure she is going to say she was in the little girls room at the time. Hey, it worked for Albore.
Neer thought Panetta would turn out to be a rational guy - on some issues anyway.
Hasta La Vista Pelosi!!!!
Asta la vista, Pelosi!
Nancy lied and her career died.
but but she’s part of the most ethical Congress ever!
/s off
LOL! But who’s in the wings, Steny, or Barney!
Dunno about you, but perhaps its time for the first gay speaker of the house.....
Best argument and job security against a possible impeachment or whatnot against President Obama and VP Biden.
