CIA "Affirmatively Lied" To Us: House Intel Panel Chair Reyes

CQ Politics :

House Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes has suggested Republicans would be well advised to avoid politicizing the intelligence authorizaton bill later this week in light of evidence that, he says, shows that the CIA "affirmatively lied to" the panel.

In a Tuesday letter to his committee's top-ranking Republican, Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, that was obtained by Congressional Quarterly, Reyes, D-Texas, wrote that the committee has recently received information that reveals significant problems with the intelligence agency's reporting to the panel.

How is it possible that anyone can conclude that Nancy Pelosi has been "vindicated" from this article. It does not indicate any such information. It states that the CIA allegedly lied, but does not indicate about what. Both the democratic and republican party must address this issue. Only an idiot could surmise that it should be a one party decision. If Pelosi lied, impeach her. If the CIA lied, hold them accountable.

[CaptainFailmore]

Agreed. More information is required. These are very serious allegations, and need to be treated as such; carefully, with thorough examination. Of course I'm asking for the moon, as are you.

Personally, my money's on all of them getting caught with their pants down, simply because things are rarely just this simple, but we'll see.

[scubaaruba]

So the liars in Congress are calling the CIA liars. Ironic.

[white mende man]

I wonder if John Boehner and Co. will get a darker shade of yellow when they have to next face Nancy Pelosi?

[JanSP1971]

Do we really think the republicans led by Boehner will ever say they were wrong? They will stick by their lies until their last breath. Republicans are hypocrites and they have no shame.

[judesuper]

NO!! Say it ain't so? The CIA lied, to congress???

Where's the repub screaming and whining now? Remember when Pelosi said the same thing? All we heard was the roar of discontent coming from the right.

Surprisingly, not one peep today! I wonder why?

[dillydawg]

They have made their political hay out of this Pelosi bash. Cheerlead by M$M. Nothing to see here now.

[chriss0114]

CIA and lying

covert ops requires lying

it is what they do best

[sandiegowoman]

Reyes is the one who did not know difference between Sunni and Shia, also is BFF of the guy in the CIA who destroyed the torture tapes. Further, he thinks the character in "24" is modeled after his friend. This is all a bunch of crap.

[SueInCA]

McCain did not know either, Lieb erman had to whisper it in his ear in ir aq

[chriss0114]

I thought that was W

[LiberalLee]

same thing really...

[FredDobbs]

Reposting due to only one weak answer

simple question yes or no, do you think Pelosi is capable of lying to us?

[sviolette]

Why is that important to this story.

In truth anyone is capable of lying including you.

[LeftCoastLarry]

Do you still do it with your sister?

[FredDobbs]

not since i knocked her up. now I'm doing your mom

[SueInCA]

do you think anyone in congress is?

[FredDobbs]

every one of them. that's why i want proof, not just their word.

[dynwitch]

Maybe you should go read a little Freud to find out why you are so afraid of powerful women. Here's a hint: he says it's cuz you're afraid yours will fall off too.

[FredDobbs]

Oh my a Freudian, your a dying breed.

[DimBulb2]

your right
simple

[FredDobbs]

and yet you still couldn't answer the question. are you afraid to?

[planesmart]

It is illegal for CIA to lie to congress. If this is true, then the liers need to be prosecuted. If it is not true, then the people claiming this need to be prosecuted.

Why write about something that is just someone puffing?

[AntiMarxist]

I consider the source.
Bush was right all along and we know it.
Read "Sadam's secrets" by Iraqi General George Sada

[SueInCA]

what is a marxist? is that groucho, harpo?

[FredDobbs]

Richard

[sviolette]

We don't know that Bush was right about anything.

[justoverit333]

hahahahahahahahaha. thanks for the laugh, antimarxist

[fallout4U]

The CIA isn't going to do sh#t for this administration. Good luck on that Barry!

[SueInCA]

why would barry white care? he is gone from this world

[Pupadup4oBama]

Perhaps he means Barry Manilow.

[white mende man]

I suppose the GOP needs to apologize to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but are they man enough to do it? Naw they are just a bunch of w/e/a/s/e/l/s/

[judesuper]

Agreed!

[chriss0114]

there are "men" in the GnOP?

[LiberalLee]

Of course they won't apologize. That would be the same as admitting they're wrong. Which they can't be, 'cause G od told them so, and if HE's wrong, well, then, jeez! Gosh! Everything we know and love might fall apart...
Soooo...never mind. It never happened. Can't happen.... nununununununu I can't hear you!

[criquet]

This is news?
I thought it was part of the job description for spies!

[white mende man]

yes but when the Republican Congress feign surprise and accuse the Speaker of the House of lieing then someone is accountable.

[LiberalLee]

Republicans accountable?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! oops...p'd my panties there...

[GreatNews27]

So? We all know exactly what you're going to do about it: NOTHING! Shut your pie hole unless you are prepared to act.

[MalakAlHaq]

More BS.

Just words with nothing being done.

Now real news would be the prosecution of a gaggle of the Bush crew for war crimes; but don't hold your breath.

[dadw5boys]

THE CIA HAS BEEN LIEING FOR OVER 40 YEARS !

Why would they stop now ?
