let me see. If i had the president of the USA or the Vice President tell something and then tell me I should not tell anyone. who should be the first person I tell? why would someone taking over control of an organization expect to be brought up to date on things that never became operational

It's obvious!
NOBODY trusts Panetta.
You don't tell secrets to no goods.

"One of the concerns when he was appointed was that he would be the weak link inside the agency,"

He has proven that to be a fact.

WSJ is reporting the "Car Czar" quitting after 6 months on the job, possibly due to NY attorney general's probe into his company.
Why is not Yahoo reporting on this?

The one and only way to keep a secret is to not tell anyone. Mr Penetta is an Obama lapdog; why would the CIA want him in on anything they wanted to keep secret.

Because it easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask for permission, or maybe, just maybe the people in the CIA swore an oath to protect and defend the USA, and it seemed like a good idea to kill the guys that murder innocent people around the world and are trying to destroy the USA.

What really frightens me, is the fact that we now have Chicago style politics on a national scale.

Maybe the CIA was planning to hit Panetta.

Then he found out about the program.

Awkward.

what a joke...listen ...if i want to find someone involved or even on the fring of being involved in terrorist activities...all i have to do is enlist the aid of 2-3 hundred million operatives...that's right...TAKE IT TO THE PEOPLE...it's nearly impossible to do anything at all without being observed by someone...(TRY JUMPING OUT OF YOUR CAR AND SNEAKING OFF TO TAKE A PEE SOMETIME...SOMEONE ALWAYS SHOWS UP...LOL)
if they really wanted to catch terrorists and wannabe terrorists..if that was the real objective...all they would have to do is ask america to keep it's eyes open...have regular news updates...etc..BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY WERE UP TO.
and good old Leon is definitely lying...observe the creative tilt of his head and eyes...he's fabricating...body language doesn't lie.

Congress is informed on a need to know basis. Since this was a developmental program and not an implemented one, Congress didn't need to know!!
Also, Pelosi, Reid, et al. are notorious for releasing state secrets just to score political points. Our former admin was working to keep our country safe--not negotiate and schmooze with the terrorists of the world!

The secret is a top secret. Its what corporate America and government don't care for you to know. If everyone knew then it would be our secret.

Some things we should know and some we should not - if this program kept us safe - I do not care what the costs were!!! Neither should you!!!!!

Panetta wasn't told because they wanted to keep it secret! I would put the CIAs motives in much higher regard than any rotten politician's. Especially a politician associated with this power grabbing administration. Little Leon would have run to his buddy Pelosi, who have blabbed it like the obnoxious mouthy wench she is.

Because the Bush administration did whatever they wanted. I wonder when it will come out that they masterminded the 9-11 attacks.

Democrats are too stupid to know the truth. They exist in fantasy anyway.
