Obama wants more CIA deception of even Congress

Even as Congressional Democrats complain the CIA has deceived Congress for years, even producing a letter by CIA director Leon Panetta as evidence, President Barack Obama threatens to veto the pending Intelligence Authorization Bill if it keeps a provision expanding information about covert actions to the entire House and Senate Intelligence Committees, rather than the “Gang of Eight” — the party leaders of both houses of Congress and the two Intelligence Committees.

Why? The usual Obama suspects. State secrets and executive privilege.
