CIA lied repeatedly to Congress since 2001, says CIA Director Leon Panetta
Exactly what actions Panetta disclosed to the House Intelligence Committee on June 24 is 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.
Reyes said in the letter that he is considering opening a full investigation.
Panetta brought the matters to the committee’s attention, CIA spokesman George Little said Wednesday.
“It is not the policy or practice of the CIA to mislead Congress. This agency and this director believe it is vital to keep the Congress fully and currently informed. Director Panetta’s actions back that up,” Little said in a statement to the AP. “It was the CIA itself that took the initiative to notify the oversight committees.”

So, let me get this straight, the CIA has to tell on itself to get any action on the false pre-war intel that the Bush administration used to send our soldiers and tax dollars to Iraq........ Is that it? I'm being coy. Of course, that's what happened. But, why did they lie? At whose direction? What was their motive? Who benefited?? Keep in mind, that the CIA is part of the Executive Branch.

If Americans where be serious about taking back their country, they would have to go back to the Kennedy assassination & follow the money from then on... http://freedocumentaries.org/film.php?id=235
Fat chance of that ever happening since the magic bullet was enough of an explanation for the lot of them ;)

Countdown: House Democrats on Intelligence Committee Say They Were Misled by CIA
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/countdown-house-democrats-intelligen...Look at American history since 1963: the assassination of the Kennedys, Dr King, most of the Black Panther leadership and Jimmy Hoffa; the shooting of Governor George Wallace. The revelation of CIA plots against foreign leaders. Massive domestic surveillance and disruption programs by the FBI and CIA. The CIA shipping opium in Laos and Vietnam, organising forty, fifty thousand assassinations in Vietnam under the Phoenix programme; tens of thousand more in Indonesia. Secret wars all round the globe trying to police the US empire. All this began to emerge in the 1960s after the destruction of the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of JFK and the revelations continued through the 1970s as part of the spin-off from Watergate. Since the advent of Republican administrations in the eighties we've had Irancontra; the October Surprise; the clandestine arming of Iraq; billions of dollars ripped-off from the Savings and Loan banks; hundreds of thousand of corpses in Central America — including a few American nuns — created by death squad regimes working as US proxy governments. A vast military-industrial-intelligence complex — everything President Eisenhower warned America of in his farewell speech in 1960 — totally beyond democratic control, gobbling up hundreds of billions of dollars.

At least 22 American news organizations had employed American journalists who were also working for the CIA, and nearly a dozen American publishing houses printed some of the more than 1,000 books that had been produced or subsidized by the CIA. When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its media agents what to write, William Colby replied, Oh, sure, all the time !
PS : Check out Carl Bernstein's 1970s Rolling Stone article on the CIA's stranglehold on the US media, which has gotten far worse since then:

We've known even 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.
-
i find it interesting that politicians have the nerve to act shocked that the CIA would lie to them. the general public knew they were lying, im not surprised. everyone knows the government lies. everyone. and those on the inside know better than anyone the truly deceitful nature of our political system.

You mean since 1947?

More evidence of the moral corruption of the Bush administration.

Lie? To politicians in Congress? Oh no, how can this be? Perhaps, because they know only lies?

It is evident that a modern nation could not survive for long without an intelligence gathering organization. Problems arise when these organizations fail to give full disclosure to those in oversight or try to intervene without authority in the governmental process' of other nations. How do you stop this from happening without endangering our agents and those that cooperate with them?

Why do we even pay these people. I would hate to be the president and have to question whether or not my own people were not giving me 110 percent. Just no more BS wars please .... please..... pretty please. What was he trying to hide. I understand that the CIA in the past has held things from the presidency, but to what end. Is congress any different? I am tired of government being treated like guard dogs for the few. I try to rationalize this in my head and if we actually knew all the things the government did we would be sick. We need to stop messing with other countries and come home already. Osama isnt coming out of his cave wherever he is. Its a wild goose chase meant to keep us and our money over there. Why doesn't anyone say. Hey china its your backyard, what the hell. do we have to chase this guy in the dessert forever. This is a biblical size F up that needs to be resolved. Iraq I cant comment because I have never been. But I am sure its sandy.

So I guess that he's admitting that they also lied about 9/11 too. He just can't come right out and say that there's a small faction of terrorist with in our own government.

There is control. Some people have it. Some people buy it. Some people buy in control. Some people buy out of control. Once it is in control, there is a synthesis of all the words. Some control represents truth as the highest secret that is a secret in its own. I find system is eventually a life process. We are in the model T of system. What we need is a new system analyst for the new economy that allows the Declaration and Constitution to get its model in the digital age. It worked fine in an analog age, but checks and balances are no longer manual.
The game is always how you treat women. Government never has controlled them and then when you go home, it is a woman whether you are in China, USA, Russia or a Island. No government is going to rule women and when you go home, it is a different world. When does anyone go home running the world?
I think what we all need to realize is that the world economy is one person at a time. The new form of system has changed check and balance from analog interpretation to digital thresholds. People are gaining space on vertical and horizontal employment and something off the vertical does not fit the horizontal they are on. That is, substance is not fitting the form. Form follows function, they are in environmental space one department at a time. Small things get attended, the big stuff could affect them.
The USA is now a contract space. In what contract you are on determines how much of the basic rights have been committeed out.

This story doesn't report the whole story which is typical of liberal bias.
The fact is panetta said congress wasn't briefed about programs that were planned but were never implemented.
These plans although secret had nothing to do with waterboarding but this is being used by pelosi and some of her puppet senators to confuse us about the fact that she lied about being briefed on waterboarding.
If she keeps pressing it, she will only revive angst with the cia and they will be forced to publicly embarass her --she is proof that the most dimwitted schiesters rise in rank in the democrat party.-

If you think about it, money on an exchange - everyone in the world works for money. A foreign citizen can rent the USA and go home. We are in a trust as a captive audience that has sold us like sheep to any exchange it can pass debt to. Soldiers are trained the same all over the world. If the commission has authority against hell, that is all we need to support. One religion against all religion is evil - that is politics. Cowboys And Indians. CIA.
