House Intel GOPers React To Dem Letter On Panetta

“„

“It is ironic that President Obama is threatening to veto the Democrat’s intelligence billbecause of the flawed notification provision inserted specifically to provide political cover for Speaker Pelosi. This comes on the heels of Democrats continued efforts to attack the CIA to cover the Speaker’s original charge, which despite any claims to the contrary, remains unsubstantiated. The blatantly political nature of the Democrats’ letters is revealed by their handling. One was slipped under a staffer’s office door late at night, the other was deliberately hidden from Republican Members for two weeks and had to be obtained from the press. It is unfortunate that the president’s veto threat and the continued attacks by partisans against the CIA are a direct result of congressional Democrats continued heavy handed attempts to cover up for Speaker Pelosi and what she knew and didn’t do regarding enhanced interrogation.”
