The Speaker 0 - CIA 1

BBC News: Reports on the feud between the Democratic House of Representatives Speaker, Nancy Pelosi and the CIA. In the latest saga, Speaker Pelosi has accused the CIA of misleading her and other Congressional Leaders over the use of torture against terrorists. The Speaker has been caught in the net of her own making, the Democrats wanted investigations of the Bush Administration and its terror policies, what they seemed to have missed was the fact that due to the Church Senate Investigations of the 1970s, the CIA has learnt to cover its backside, thus they inform Congressional Leaders of all aspects of CIA operations under a National Security caveat of non disclosure. President Obama while finding a new US Supreme Court Justice might also have to find a new House Speaker who will not land him in hot water over National Security. I put my money on the CIA winning this war, they are after all the CIA, Obama does not want them to leak against him as they leaked against Bush 43.
