DanaGarrett says:

If CIA Director Leon Panetta cannot accept that it's a proper role of the Department of Justice to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute anyone in the CIA for possibly breaking federal laws against torture, then he should be removed from his job. He should be fired.

His primary duty is NOT to give cover to potential criminals within the CIA but to help in upholding the law.

According to intelligence officials, Panetta erupted in a tirade last month during a meeting with a senior White House staff member.
