"Republicans accused Democrats [read: Nancy Pelosi] of floating the information as a way to distract from the debate on the intelligence authorization bill, which they had hoped to use as a way to rehash Pelosi's accusation that the CIA lied to her during a September 2002 briefing. On May 14 Pelosi said the agency intentionally misled her in a 2002 briefing on interrogation techniques used against alleged terrorist detainees. "

"A new effort to ease tensions between House Democrats and the CIA began late last night, when [Intelligence Committee Chairman] Reyes issued a statement crediting Panetta with coming forward to tell the lawmakers about the previous misleading briefings. "

We'll see where he stands in the debate over the intelligence authorization bill.
