Leon Panetta, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, has obviously gotten the memo from on high to buttress Speaker Nancy Pelosi's incredible claims that the CIA lies to Congress regularly.
The leaks are already trickling out about some super hush-hush program that has been fermenting in the cellars of the CIA for the past eight years and no one told Congress about it. This is the same CIA who could not keep Valerie Plame and her jet-setting hubby muzzled remember. Plus the covert programs used to track terrorists that have been exposed to the light of day endangering the national security of the United States and of the Free World.
Rep. Reyes, who heads the House Intelligence Committee and has had trouble in the past knowing Iranians speak Farsi, is gearing up for an investigation. rep; Schakowsky is also all fired up to find out about this program.
Was this program effective? Reading this AP news article, does not seem like it. If the program was on again/off again; then it sounds like one of those orphan programs that get little support and just quietly die. But now the House of Representatives wants to do an investigation after a shocked Panetta shut the program completely down.
What this new bit of soap opera will do is further demoralize the CIA and make them even greater artists of CYA. Will allow Nancy Pelosi to squawk that if the CIA never told Congress about this project, then they could lie to her about waterboarding. And will allow all the BDS sufferers that infest Congress one more swipe at George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. *pauses* And on further reflection, divert attention from various crazy spending bills floating through Congress right now.
Lets not let Nancy Pelosi and her merry band of BDS suffering corruptocrats get away this.

It's more than a little obvious that Panetta got orders from Team Obama to cover for Queen Nancy's BS-spree... but their are other centers of power at Langley that won't stand for this rubbish.
Pelosi was every bit as informed on the decision to us EITs as were the GOP… but is now lying about it in an attempt to appease the antiwar left and fulfill specious campaign posturing.
And apparently Pelosi and Obama forgot something: the CIA KILLS people… it’s in their job description. Did these two really think that these killers were going to just meekly take-one-for-the-team… when the team captain is a lying, incompetent, arrogant nebbish who has basically told them they need to kiss his ring? -please
Obama really kicked an ant hill with his ill-advised and politically motivated release of Bush Administration memos regarding EITs.
Let’s have a hearing and get it all out there, shall we? Then watch the rats scatter who attacked Bush for protecting the country from terrorist attack… but who clearly knew what was going on five years before we heard a peep out of them.

2010 can not come fast enough to deliver us from the Obamamen.
