1. Democrats defended Democrats? I've never seen that.

I don't recall many (if any) Democrats who defended Pelosi recently. And to this day, I can only think of two or three Democrats who even bothered to defend Clinton when he was the victim of an obvious lynch mob.

Democrats are right on the issues, but they are also wimps with no loyalty to each other.

2. Who was running the CIA during bush's 8 years?

The answer is cheney until evidence proves otherwise. We need an impartial committed to investigate, not Congress. Panetta "finally" came through and showed he could maybe be trusted. He has been on my doubtful list for years. We shall see. This is all great news. It proves Pelosi was not being political, just truthful, thank goodness.

The repubs don't have a lot to say at this point. What made the repubs think that Panetta would go along to get along with their deceit? Why was he not told earlier about these "new laws" put into practice at the CIA and what else is buried.....
