House Democrats Say C.I.A. Deceived Congress for Years
Exactly what actions Panetta disclosed to the House Intelligence Committee on June 24 are unclear, but committee chairman Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, said that the CIA outright lied in one case.
"These notifications have led me to conclude that this committee has been misled, has not been provided full and complete notifications, and (in at least one case) was affirmatively lied to," Reyes wrote in a letter Tuesday to Michigan Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the committee's senior Republican. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press.

We've known well before the start of the Iraq war that the Bush administration was cherry picking evidence, and telling the CIA to find more evidence, against Iraq. It isn't the CIA who should be under investigation.

Isn't it the C.I.A's job to be shady as hell?

Consider how elastic politicians are regarding the term "classified" if I were the CIA I might think seriously about lying to Congress also. This, however, sounds like Pelosi has been doing some lobbying among her peers. I think they are circling the wagons around their dear leader.
