Why are people getting all upset over Cheney’s illegal death squads, illegal torture techniques, illegal NSA spying program, lets face it, nothing will happen to him, they might investigate, the justification will be 9/11, 9/11, 9/11 or you are only giving ammunition to our enemies and in the end nothing will happen, he is part of the ruling class. The chickens are coming home to roost from the operatives that stole the election for Bush/Cheney 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio. I love listening to Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, these chicken hawks on the War of Terror have become chicken little’s that the sky is falling when it comes to the economy, too funny.

I don’t believe for a second that these programs were concealed from any of the big wigs. Just from Congress where naysayers might foil their plot.

I think that even more disturbing is that managers in the CIA were able to hide this program from Panetta for four months. Why wasn’t he briefed on it immediately? Why wasn’t it disclosed to the Obama transition team? You can bet good money that Cheney knew about every post-9/11 program the CIA was running. What we have here is far worse than CIA not disclosing everything to Congress. What we have is an out-of-control program that was intentionally concealed from the Commander in Chief, and from the Director of the CIA. Heads should roll, and criminal investigations should be considered.

Actually, dog, Pelosi said that the CIA had mis-led Congress… not lied to Congres

Point taken Chas, yes that is what she said, far to often it is the leap logic and leap Reasoning that is being reported instead of what is actually said.

Yeah Jed. Cons only want to take liberals guns, and then kill them into Christians.

“Since she said that they lied to Congress not that they hide things from them.” [writerdog]

Actually, dog, Pelosi said that the CIA had mis-led Congress… not lied to Congres… Thus, what has now been made known means Pelosi owes nobody an apology…. And that’s good… It shows stability in the House…. :-)

P-Mom,
Isn’t it interesting that the cons that defend the CIA are the same ones that worry about black helicopters coming to take their guns?

What does this tell you … any of you Republicans out there that actually still love what America is supposed to stand for, CHANGE PARTIES or take back your old party. It sure aint Grand. The republicons are Hitler like more and more. Win at any cost. It costs you YOUR freedom and your country.

Cons are poo pooing this off as insignificant, but this is tyranny. This cannot stand, we have the government set up this way for a reason for checks and balances of power. The republican party needs to come clean and become AMERICANS again or be dismantled.

When are you cons going to hold your leaders responsible for their lies and deceitful actions?

I’m shocked, the CIA lying to the Congress?
It’s OK for Congress to lie to us but it’s not OK to be lied to?

Just trying to help Pelosi cover her posterior.

Not very convincingly, either.

No, affirmatively lied to, means you told a fib. Can’t spin this one away.
“The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Silvestre Reyes, Democrat of Texas, referred to Mr. Panetta’s disclosure in a letter to the committee’s ranking Republican, Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, Congressional Quarterly reported on Wednesday. Mr. Reyes wrote that the committee “has been misled, has not been provided full and complete notifications, and (in at least one occasion) was affirmatively lied to.”

Now to get it straight, what was said was that the CIA did not tell the Congress about an operation that has been going on for the last eight years. That maybe deceptive but not lying since they said nothing.

BUT it is illegal that the CIA did not disclose the operation as required by law. This neither helps Pelosi or harms her. Since she said that they lied to Congress not that they hide things from them.

There you have it folks, Phantom imagines…

Imagining things appears to be common Democratic Party trait.

Can’t really blame the CIA, since bush made an example out of Plame for all to see the consequences of opposing admin. policy.

By: Phantom

I imagine in the bush administration there were front room briefings, and also backroom briefings, in which the real activity was discussed.
Let’s hear from Roberts on this subject.

Panetti stated that it IS not CIA policy to lie. That was and is a true statement. Unfortunately, under BushCo it WAS policy to lie.

BTW – how is that WMD search coming along?
