but it is very hard to tell at this point wheth we are talking about a series potential federal crime here, and it i a federal crim for the cia to conceal information or to congressas chairman reyes said, or whetr this is a political fo fight by the democrats trying to defend spker pelosi fm what ty view as bus charges by the publics relating to her comments aboutwartboarding, because we don'tnow what the underlying informati is. we know that it is not lated to the interrogaon dispute, that presumably sparked this, because that's what thewhole issue of a terboardinghen pelosi said that sheas misled about waterboarding. we know that from both sides on this that theunderlying program was highly classified. it's notclear that this was entirely as opposed to what we think it is, was some adstment or modificati to an ongoing programhat the congreswas told about, but s not tld about the mofication. so there's a lot of unanswered questions here, but there unquestionably a lot of pocs behind this. >> it crtainly seems, particularly because of the list of signatorie because i's only memrs of t

i recognize that somen the democratict want to have a full throated discussio of these issues and wheththe cis been tthful, but you notihat it's republics o have beenrying to keep this ise alive a lot more than democrats. but this letter helps nay pelosiy providing backup for her claim, but they don't want prolong the diussion. >> ron, what doyou think of the reversal made by the a dictor leon netta? >> well, i think it's too early for us to come to any sort of firm conclusion about what may or may not hahappened. i think the gut that you had on eier in t show, mike roge, a very senior member of congress, a former fbi agent had right. i think the cgress eds to investigate thisssue more clely. i think e congress should take a ok at t, but we shouldn't rush to political judgmt because, ed, the men a women who are in t c w are protecting the amerin people ar hit timend time again and i thinit's a disaction to the ameran people to keep hearing, oh, t cia lied. t's get to theottom of the facts and not make any political thear. >> i don't think it's e people insi the cia that lied, it the peo

what we have to focus on as a party, wheth it's tim pawltymitt romney, and hers, we have to focus onebuilding the party. and i think sarah palin, with her popularity ang the base is going to be part of that. >>chrysalis clizza joins us now from washingtonpost.com. does she thendevelop enough chithe way richard nix did after dropping out of sight and ying that no one would have him to kick ound anymore in 1962 and only five years la heas a nomee from having developethat broader base. >> you know what, anda, here's what weon't know about h palin. you might think we kno everything about her because she's been so, so inhe spotlight. but whatwe d't know is does e have the politicalhops of -- i d haven't want to comparher to nixon. because whatever you say abou nixon, there are certainly a lot of supporters and detractors, he was a consummate polician and consumed by this stuff she gotlected in 200 somewhat as a surprise as a reform governor. without that much reallythe national lelo choose from in rms of does she know her stuff, is s going to go and accumulate tse sort of ious. n was just

in other words, d either versions of tis confirmhat pelosi said, or is it dendent on wheth the representative is right or the cistatement is right? >> i thinky're in direct colict. though panetta says or indicates through people that he has no way of knowing what happened, he just ows that it's true. they were not informedf ceain things. the big distinction herehough is that officials say it not over waterboarding. they are backing the fact that pelosi and others re extensively brfed on waterboardg and that there is, in fact, there areords to that eec they're saying that this issue is separate from watboarding and separaterom interrogations i can't tell you tight what it is. it's covert. i haven't yet uncovered at. >> last question then, what happens next pertaining this? is this sole about that vote and the threat of the veto, is there essentially more he? are there hearings? is tre more open testimony? this going to carry on its own accord, or does thisaway relative -- is this jt some political sturing in front of a vote? >> it's a t of posturing, but it will eventually determine influence,
