BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Impact" segment tonight: controversy still raging over Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to appoint a special prosecutor to look into alleged CIA abuses in the interrogations of about a dozen terror suspects. ABC News is reporting that CIA chief Leon Panetta confronted some high-level White House people and even used obscenities in the heated discussion. Joining us now from ABC News headquarters in New York, the chief investigative reporter for that outfit, Brian Ross.
So we're hearing it was Rahm Emanuel that Leon Panetta went toe to toe with. Is that what you're hearing?
BRIAN ROSS, ABC NEWS: I heard the same thing, Bill. They won't confirm that. But people at the CIA said that it's not unusual to have a profanity-laced screaming match at the White House...
O'REILLY: Is that right?
ROSS: ...with certain key officials, and…
O'REILLY: Wouldn't you like to see that? You know, not unusual to have obscenities? Well, with Rahm Emanuel it's not unusual because he just curses all day long, but Leon Panetta is a very nice, quiet, civilized guy. I've done three lectures for Leon out in his Monterey, California, think tank. You couldn't get a more mild-mannered guy than Leon Panetta.
ROSS: Although they say he does use salty language, but he's a real gentleman, and a real...
O'REILLY: Yes.
ROSS: ...he's very adept at the Washington game of power, and he has run into frustrations in his job up against people in the White House.

We knew it was Rahm.
Any updated news on who the WH has in mind to replace Panetta?
They are trying for Hugo Chavez -- but he would have to take a leave of absence in Venezuela.
My money is on someone named “Himmler”.
The biggest liberal victim of all times... Valerie Plame?
Joseph Wilson IV?
Typical leftwing moon bat liberal behavior. Panetta must have been "real impressed" with the idiots Obama has working in the whitehouse. It must be a zoo.
I can just imagine the pizza and chicken boxes all over the place, and "stuff" trampled into the carpets in Obama and his Moonbats offices; like they are still living in their mothers basements...
I have a good imagination, yes, but I'm not so sure I'm going to that much of an extreme in this case.
Does Bill Ayers have an open schedule?
It struck me as really odd that ABC would let it’s reporter go on and be interviewed by cable a news (FNC) show.
If one of the traditional networks was smart, they’d build an alliance with Fox and reduce their own news-gathering costs.
I thought Bill Ayers et al were looking to kill 25 million in a commie rampage. Good luck with all that billie boy against millions of armed patriots.
YO, Leon... I never did like you, but one word of warning ... STAY AWAY FROM FT. MARCY PARK!!
He won’t trash talk and spill the beans. He will just resign quietly if they keep it up.
I already noticed odd press on how second hand smoke was used to interrogate. Panetta does not want to release it all because it is WRONG. It jeopardizes our country. And I believe Panetta realizes it is partisan politics.
Madeline notbright just called the Lockerbie murders a terrible accident so she fits right in with this corrupt administration
I wondered the same exact thing. What the hell was an ABC reporter doing reporting to Fox? Nobody would have seen this if it was only on ABC. I am not sure but I think the ABC reporter is old school? AKA reports the facts in journalism, maybe?
A year ago it would have been hard to imagin cheering for Panetta.
I hope Panetta leaks everything he can, within the law, concerning this WH’s way of doing business.
I hope Panetta gets some deep undercovers to grab certain spys (ACLU), government officials and muslim sympathizers, bring them into a dark alley ande beat the living $hit out of them before he leaves his post. It can be done, you know!
IIRC, he has been on BOR before.
