Inside Story of Leon Panetta's Tirade Over CIA Probe
foxnews.com The O'Reilly Factor ^ | Thursday, August 27, 2009 | foxnews.com The O'Reilly Factor

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.

thought Bill Ayers et al were looking to kill 25 million in a commie rampage. .

And that was back when the population was a lot less than today. Today, as a percentage, that number would be more like 75,000,000.

It tells you just how sick this administration is when Panetta is considered a good guy.

I miss George W. Bush.

I don't. If he hadn't been such a sorry POTUS, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. He got us THE ONE.

Did BOR say to quit picking on Obama, that the press isn’t giving him the benefit of the doubt? If not, Laura Ingram must have been subbing that night because BOR still has his nose up Hussein’s fanny, deeper than an offshore Brazilian well.

According to FOX, it sounds like they are replacing the entire CIA.

Well, in that case, here are the replacements:
