Panetta: 'Intelligence is not a weapon we should use on each other'

Congress and the CIA: Time to Move On

By Leon Panetta
Sunday, August 2, 2009

.........................

Intelligence can be a valuable weapon, but it is not one we should use on each other. As the president has said, this is not a time for retribution. Debates over who knew what when -- or what happened seven years ago -- miss a larger, more important point: We are a nation at war in a dangerous world, and good intelligence is vital to us all. That is where our focus should be.

Why is this not the time for retribution?

I want to see justice!
