Rep. Pete Hoekstra “…very very serious charge” – LMAO

Representative Pete Hoekstra is now criticizing Speaker Pelosi for her remarks surrounding the CIA briefings on torture and saying that accusing the CIA of lying is a “very very serious charge.” WHAT?! Accusing the best liars in the United States Government of lying is a “serious charge”? This has to be one of the most laughable quotes of the year. If Rep. Hoekstra truly believes that the CIA tells the truth to Congress or anyone else, he is delusional at best and should check himself into a mental health facility. How many reams of declassified material have to be released before he believes that the CIA lies, defrauds, steals, destroys, murders, etc.? Mr. Hoekstra probably likes to cherry-pick his intelligence like former Vice-President Cheney. Demanding a particular piece of intelligence from the CIA is like requesting a particular flavor of ice cream from Baskin-Robbins. The CIA wants us to believe that they are in the business of collecting intelligence. In fact, they are in the business of manipulating intelligence in order to achieve whatever goal they are working toward at a particular moment. And telling Pelosi to prove that the CIA is lying when the information needed to prove such an accusation is classified – well, that is simply stupid.
