CIA Director Panetta Hits Back at Pelosi

It is good to see the CIA close ranks against Pelosi trying vainly to get her self out of her torture mess by accusing everyone but herself. She seems like a person falling down a gravel covered hill who is trying to grab on to anything she can to keep her upright.

Panetta, President Obama's pick to run the clandestine agency and President Clinton's former chief of staff, wrote in a memo to CIA employees Friday that "CIA officers briefed truthfully on the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, describing 'the enhanced techniques that had been employed,'" according to CIA records.

"We are an agency of high integrity, professionalism and dedication," Panetta said in the memo. "Our task is to tell it like it is — even if that’s not what people always want to hear. Keep it up. Our national security depends on it."

Yup, the CIA are actually fighting the good fight against Al-Quida scumbags and keeping America safe. I think Pelosi saying she was "misled" by them is the height of irresponsibility. Maybe she should think about stepping down from her Speaker post like Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has suggested.
