ABC News spreads rumor that Leon Panetta just threatened to quit CIAt
Edited on Mon Aug-24-09 12:52 PM by Becky72
ABC News has a story titled, "Obama White House v. CIA; Panetta Threatened to Quit" quoting anonymous CIA sources. But why does ABC News take the anonymous sources' version as true, ignoring this...?

A CIA spokesman quoted Panetta as saying "it is absolutely untrue" that he has any plans to leave the CIA. As to the reported White House tirade, the spokesman said Panetta is known to use "salty language." CIA spokesman George Little said the report was "wrong, inaccurate, bogus and false."


The White House denied it, too: "A White House spokesperson, Denis McDonough, said reports that Panetta had threatened to quit and that the White House was seeking a replacement were "inaccurate.""
