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.

Pelosi has been vindicated. I never doubted her one bit.

[Wiseronenow]

Me either. However, this should surprise any of us? Especially, since the CIA is in the business of lying. Hello!

[Ignorancedestroys]

"Reyes sent copies of his letter to Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Minority Leader John A. Boehner , D-Ohio". or should this be "Reyes sent copies of his letter to Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Minority Leader John A. Boehner , R-Ohio.". So Mr Tanning Tan is now a democrat?

Pelosi should be demanding apologies from Boehner, Cantor, and the rest of the opportunist repube blowhards.

[MED1025]

They never admit guilt.

[FredDobbs]

"Reyes did not describe or detail the alleged false or misleading statements to the committee."

let's see the evidence, not the just his allegations. Time for an investigation to see who is telling the truth.

I am sure Bohner will be first to come out to say, it proves nothing, and I wish he will tell us. But if we don't hear from him, I will say it stated enough to embarrass him and the CIA. This will be your proof.

[jazabelz]

And when the evidence does come out and it proves congressional leaders were either lied to or simply not informed -- will you say you were wrong? Will you be man enough to stand up and apologize?

[DONKEY-OH-TEE]

Accept it m'fer.

LOL

[Budokan]

The CIA is run by Obama and is led by Obama appointee Leon Panetta. If the CIA is lying Reyes needs to bring those officials up on charges, it is illegal and get Panetta in front of congress to answer questions. Hopefully, the Demos are going to dig the Pelosi "the CIA lied to only me" hole deeper.

[PKatherine]

ur not making any sense bc the cia she was refering to was Bush's .....

come on.. think a little!

[apoyo]

thinking might hurt his (her) brain

How hard is it to follow what happens every 4 years?
Presidential elections, Hello????

[rollingdivision]

I'll try to go slow. Obama has all the records, information and people who supposedly lied. Remember the CIA is run by the president. If the Bush CIA lied to congress, Obama has the evidence. Obama can release all that information to congress today. So, if as Pelosi's maintaining, the CIA lied to her, why doesn't Obama release the incriminating facts? Answer: the basic claim is wrong, the CIA did not lie.

[rockyb26]

i think they are referring to old lies from W's administration.

[greenchili]

Hello!!!, hello, hello, hello....Yep, you can always tell if someone is a repub by the echo in their cranium. I once knocked on a repub's head and something knocked back, scared the h ell out of me.

[ObamAtomic]

He was referring to Bush CIA,eh!

[Hank10303]

Sounds like heads need to roll at the CIA - in addition sounds like Pelosi is about to be vindicated and republicans are headed for another wham bam thank you mam.
