Beginning of a break in the dam?

Interesting that Panetta feels free to talk, he knows the thugs in the WH are vindictive. With this statement, Panetta is just daring the WH to come after him.

He must have an ace in the hole-his knowledge of what Obama was doing on the evening of 9-11-2012 perhaps?

Don't forget that Panetta was a liberal congressman who faithfully toed the line for years before he got the coveted appointment to head the CIA.

I'm sure his strict liberal orthodoxy and voting record gave BO the confidence that he would be a willing accomplice in any necessary coverup, so when Panetta is willing to sing like a canary it means a lot more than when some affirmative action hire like Colin Powell is willing to go rogue on the GOP.
