Arlen Specter Defends Pelosi, Attacks CIA

May 20, 2009 · Filed Under Politics

As if it weren’t already outrageous enough that Nancy Pelosi lied to the entire country and smeared the CIA last week regarding her prior knowledge of waterboarding, today it was taken up a notch.

Incredibly it was newly minted democrat Arlen Specter who chose to carry Nancy’s water. Like any good democrat he viciously attacked the CIA and brought up agency scandals of the 1980’s as proof CIA doesn’t tell the truth.

"The CIA has a very bad record when it comes to — I was about to say ‘candid’; that’s too mild — to honesty," Specter, a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a lunch address to the American Law Institute. He cited misleading information about the agency’s involvement in mining harbors in Nicaragua and the Iran-Contra affair.

As loathsome as the democrats are when it comes to national security, this is just more than I can stomach.

What a bunch of low-down dirty cowards these democrats are. They don’t even have the balls to stand behind their decisions after 9/11 when everyone was just trying to keep this country safe.

Specter has always been an insufferable prick, but this is the most disgraceful thing he’s ever done.

I hope the CIA goes on a leaking marathon that drives Nancy Pelosi and her despicable cronies right out of Washington.

One of the reasons CIA had such piss poor intel on Iraq before the war is because the agency is deathly afraid of another scandal like ones in the 1980’s. They are the most risk-averse organization in the federal government.

They do anything to avoid a scandal, even if that means not getting critical intelligence. Democrats always strike fear into the hearts of the intelligence community every 10-15 years and make our country less safe.

It’s totally ridiculous to accuse the CIA of not informing Congress. Nancy is a filthy liar who’s not fit to serve anywhere.
