Panetta Admits CIA Has “Misled” Congress
----------------------------------------



Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta has admitted the CIA
has misled Congress on intelligence matters since at least 2001. On
Wednesday, a group of seven Democratic lawmakers released a letter
describing Panetta’s comments. House intelligence committee chair
Silvestre Reyes said CIA officials “affirmatively lied” in a recent
briefing on an unspecified matter.
