Impressive ybdog, BUT we shouldn't forget that the CIA has been lying to Congress repeatedly for DECADES and especially since the Reagan administration.

Here is a great article about one of our own war criminals, which includes information on the involvement of he and others (especially Cheney and Gates) in corrupting the CIA during the Reagan administration (amongst other crimes), as well as their roles in preventing Congress from cleaning up the CIA after the Church investigation. It is written by a former member of the National Security Council who saw it all from the inside.

Given Gates presence in the current administration, I doubt much has really changed.

  Baby steps, HYPERBOLA. At least Panetta had the courage to admit it (and not wait until decades after-the-fact to do so). That gives me some hope.

  hyperbola, the CIA has been lying ever since I started paying attention to politics. Remember that the Nixon gang that broke into the Watergate building were ex-CIA agents. The CIA has been accused of being involved in both Kennedy assassinations as well as the MLK assassination. True or not, where there's smoke there's fire.
  One thing that stands out to me is the fact that G H W Bush was the head of the CIA under President Ford and has been accused of being involved with the supposed agreement with the Iranians after the Embassy was taken over in 1979. After he became VP, we had the Iran-Contra scandal that had Bush and the CIA's MO all over it. So it's been going on a long time.
