More lies by the Libs........ but then again, when have the libs evere let a little lie prevent a good theory.
This just goes to show you that MOST (not all)Libs are unethical, manipulators who will do anything to get in power.
NBC: Dean, Kerry Wrong on Cheney CIA Charge
Allegations leveled during last night's debate by Gov. Howard Dean and Sen. John Kerry that Vice President Dick Cheney "berated" CIA analysts to get them to exaggerate Iraq war intelligence are false, NBC's Washington correspondent Andrea Mitchell said Friday.
"It's absolutely not true," Mitchell told radio host Don Imus. "The vice president went over to the CIA on a couple of Saturdays, you know, more than once . . but he did not, by anybody's account, berate the analysts."
Mitchell noted that former CIA analysts Ray McGovern and Larry Johnson, who were not present during the Cheney meetings, have said mid-level employees may have felt "pressured" by Cheney's presence.
But she quickly added, "For outsiders to say that anonymous people felt pressured is a far cry from . . Howard Dean saying in the debate that they, quote, berated the analysts."
In response to a question from debate moderator Tom Brokaw about chief weapons inspector David Kay's contention that there was no pressure from the White House on Iraq war intelligence, Dean complained:
"What we now find out is that Vice President Dick Cheney went to the CIA on at least one occasion, and maybe more, sat with middle-level CIA operatives and berated them because he didn't like their intelligence reports."
In the next breath number two Democrat in the presidential race continued:
"It seems to me that the vice president of the United States therefore influenced the very reports that the president then used to decide to go to war and to ask Congress for permission to go to war."
Asked by Brokaw about Dean's charge that Cheney had "berated" CIA analysts, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry lent credence to the wild-eyed allegation, saying, "There is a very legitimate question, Tom, about what the vice president of the United States was doing at the CIA. There's an enormous question about the exaggeration by this administration."
