The House Intelligence Panel says that it will investigate the CIA for not telling them about a secret program that they never even used. Nice. Looks like hearings and testimony for no real good reason other than the fact that the CIA made Miss America Pelosi look bad.

Miss America Pelosi

The secret program was designed for hit teams to target Al-Qaeda leaders, you know, kill the terrorists; what a concept. The House Panel plans to investigate whether or not the CIA lied to them or not; about anything seemingly. Sweetness and Light reports:

The House Intelligence Committee will examine concerns that the CIA failed to inform the Senate and House Intelligence committees about former President George W. Bush’s wiretapping program, harsh interrogation techniques and the destruction of interrogation videotapes, according to a committee aide…

This appears to be the beginnings of a witch hunt for anything and everything Bush related. Rep. Peter Hoekstra said:

“At no time will the Republicans of this committee agree to or take part in congressional Democrats efforts to tear down the CIA to provide cover for Speaker Pelosi,” Hoekstra said in a statement Friday.

The Democrats in Congress seem to have selective memories; they claim that the CIA never briefed them on this or that, when there is always proof to the contrary. Pelosi was briefed about “harsh interrogation techniques” but still claims she knew nothing.

This is political theatre and nothing more. Funny how the Dems are always attacking the very people on our side in the trenches trying to keep us safe; should help you sleep at night.
