It now appears that the CIA did mislead Congress about classified matters, beginning in the first year of the Bushit Assministration and continuing until late last month, the New York Times reports today. Seven House Democrats say that CIA Director Panetta told them in late June that the CIA "misled members of Congress" for eight years under Dumbya about unspecified intelligence matters. Remember that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was widely criticized by Rethuglicans and their media enablers several months ago for claiming just that. Now the Rethugs are circling the wagons pretending to "defend" the CIA's "honor," when it was their political leadership in the White House and the CIA that demanded bogus intelligence on Iraq and al Qaeda, and fed Congress the misinformation.
