CIA: Panetta Doesn't Believe Cheney Rooting For Terrorist Attack

From CNN:

"The Director does not believe the former Vice President wants an attack," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in a statement to CNN. "He did not say that.

My Comment: I read the quote from Mother Jones .... and it is clear that that CIA Director Panetta was insinuating Vice President Cheney was hoping for a terrorist attack on the U.S. These denials cannot alter what was said .... but the CIA Director is trying.
