Not questioning motives? Sure your not Mr. Panetta...

I am struck to the core with the magnitude with which the left will sway things.

Here is a quote from CIA director Leon Panetta:
"It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics," said Panetta. "When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point."

Lets look again at former VP Cheney's statement:
I quote again:
"The important thing is whether or not the Obama Administration will continue the policies that have kept us safe for the last 8 years," Cheney said.

And here is the spin:
I quote:
"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. He was simply expressing his profound disagreement with the assertion that President Obama's security policies have made our country less safe. Nor did he question anyone's motives."

Cheney, was putting to question weather or not the Obama administration would keep the policies. He did not say they were not for certain. Every person in this country ought to be asking the same thing.

Please please tell me how Mr. Panetta was not questioning former VP Cheney's motives here?
