CIA Lied for 8 Years To Congress

[FOTD]

Two words: Valerie.  Plame.

So what?

I can think of a couple of reasons, some on the up and up and some partisan.  It's likely to be a combo of both, though I know Jan Schakowsky (she was my former Congresswoman) and she's typically not into that whole self-aggrandizement thing.  

By all accounts, this is being reported after the fact.  Panetta reportedly shut it down as soon as he heard about it.

Can you think of a manner in which this makes it out to the media where you WOULDN'T be suspicious, or consider it partisan?  If Lindsay Graham or McCain broke the story to the AP, would it be more trustworthy?

"It certainly confirms her characterization of the level of openness the intelligence community and the CIA have given to Congress," Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) told POLITICO Saturday evening.

Pelosi has come under fire from critics after asserting earlier this year that the CIA had misled her on its use of controversial water-boarding practices."
