The CIA is Non-Partisan (sorta)

Democrats: CIA is out to get us - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com

So now that democrats are taking the same CIA leaking-document beating that GW Bush did these last many years, it's "interesting." And "out to get us?" Boy that sounds weak.

The CIA has long been on the receiving end of harsh rebukes from Congress — on intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq, on secret prisons abroad and on the harsh interrogation techniques used on terrorism suspects. But with the release of records showing that it briefed members of Congress along the way, the CIA has effectively put lawmakers on the defensive.

No shit, Sherlock. How can seasoned politicians and congress-critters feign surprise that the CIA refuses to let itself be made a fool of without documents embarassing to the politicians getting leaked? It was all glee and chortles when it was Chimpy McFlightsuit taking the heat, but Pelosi seems to have lost her sense of humor. Sucks to be you.
