did panetta behave badly?

it's being denied but it sure SOUNDS true.

yeah, like a baby. screaming because bits of the truth were finally OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZING out

you know what? WE, that's right WE ALL pay your salary. WE (well at the very least ME) want to know the truth or as much of the truth as you can safely tell us. safely as in the safety of our country. NOT safety for YOU getting YOUR ASS KICKED because of lies, untruths, torture and deaths. THIS IS AMERICA WE DO NOT TORTURE

Obama White House v. CIA; Panetta Threatened to Quit

Tensions Lead to CIA Director's "Screaming Match" at the White House

By MATTHEW COLE, RICHARD ESPOSITO and BRIAN ROSS
A "profanity-laced screaming match" at the White House involving CIA Director Leon Panetta, and the expected release today of another damning internal investigation, has administration officials worrying about the direction of its newly-appoint intelligence team, current and former senior intelligence officials tell ABC News.com.

Amid reports that Panetta had threatened to quit just seven months after taking over at the spy agency, other insiders tell ABCNews.com that senior White House staff members are already discussing a possible shake-up of top national security officials.

"You can expect a larger than normal turnover in the next year," a senior adviser to Obama on intelligence matters told ABCNews.com.

this is a story

about a black man in the white house. no, it's NOT about barack obama. it's about gene (eugene) allen. it's about mr allen and a those that came before him and those that will come after him. it's about a man simply doing his job. it's about a man who had NOT missed a day of work in 34 years. it's about a man who, when he started his current job, couldn't use the same rest room (in virginia) as that of a white man.

please read this story. it's about much more than a man in a kitchen.

Washington Post Staff Writer
For more than three decades Eugene Allen worked in the White House, a black man unknown to the headlines. During some of those years, harsh segregation laws lay upon the land.

He trekked home every night, his wife, Helene, keeping him out of her kitchen.

At the White House, he worked closer to the dirty dishes than to the large desk in the Oval Office. Helene didn't care; she just beamed with pride.

President Truman called him Gene.

President Ford liked to talk golf with him.

He saw eight presidential administrations come and go, often working six days a week. "I never missed a day of work," Allen says.

His is a story from the back pages of history. A figure in the tiniest of print. The man in the kitchen.........
