...and HE should know!

Defending Nancy Pelosi, Arlen Specter says that you can't trust the CIA:
"The CIA has a very bad record when it comes to — I was about to say 'candid'; that's too mild — to honesty," Specter, a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a lunch address to the American Law Institute. He cited misleading information about the agency's involvement in mining harbors in Nicaragua and the Iran-Contra affair.
Boy, I had forgotten all about the harbor mining. Also the downing of Gene Hasenfus' plane. And lots of other stuff from that era.

But there's a CIA-related scandal from an earlier era that I have not forgotten. Arlen knows all about it.
