So Nancy Pelosi was right

Gee, who'd have ever figured that the CIA would do something wrong, and that Nancy Pelosi would do something right?

Oh yeah, me.

Certainly not the Rushpublics:

The CIA may have misled Congress at least five times since 2001, two Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee said Tuesday.

Intelligence subcommittee Chairwomen Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) are leading an ongoing investigation into what they described as a practice of incomplete and often misleading intelligence briefings, which arose in the wake of CIA Director Leon Panetta’s June 24 admission that intelligence officials failed to notify Congress about a top-secret program to assassinate al Qaeda leaders.

“That is an example of a failure to notify but we think a symptom of a larger disease,” Schakowsky said on Tuesday.

“There have been many instances where we’ve come to a committee hearing, after having read in the paper of something that should have been notified to us, where it’s followed up my mea culpas by the intelligence community,” Schakowsky said. “And examples where the committee actually has been lied to." [...]

Findings on this point could bolster Pelosi’s case.
Of course, the sport of smearing Pelosi, whether she was right or wrong (right up there priority-wise with covering up for the CIA) was accomplished, so the manufactured damage to her reputation has been done. Good job, GOP.

Much more here.
