AP sources: Cheney told CIA not to discuss program

WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Dick Cheney directed the CIA eight years ago not to inform Congress about a nascent counterterrorism program that CIA Director Leon Panetta terminated in June, officials with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.


Subsequent CIA directors did not inform Congress because the intelligence-gathering effort had not developed to the point that they believed merited a congressional briefing, said a former intelligence official and another government official familiar with Panetta's June 24 briefing to the House and Senate Intelligence committees.


Panetta did not agree.

Sticky situation. The administration dosent want to start a situation where the incoming administration starts bringing the outgoing to trial but when laws were ignored being the top of the power scale should not be a pass. The American people are owed that lawbreakers will be punished, no matter their station in life.

Some of the other stuff is close but if Cheney is directing the CIA to withhold information that Congress is entitled to about a questionable program....that is beyond the pale.

If there is anything there to look at, rest assured the next Republican administration will check into it.

It should not have to be Republicans looking into Democrats as well as it should not have to be Democrats looking into Republicans.

It should be which ever party is in office holding to the same standard to investigate any perceived wrong doing.

Given that politics is what it is, I know that’s asking a lot.

He didnt have to discuss it with them until it was a finished ready to use product, as long as it was in the planning stages as this was nothing he did was wrong.....They are losing on the climate bill and the health care bill they need more distractions......Not to mention they will be spending all week calling Republicans names as the ask legit questions of our 1st communist supreme court justice...

So you guys are ok with Joe Biden telling the CIA which programs they reveal and what timeline they abide by to report to the oversight bodies?

No! Joe Biden is a halfwit. I think he was brought along to help communicate with congress (the Senate in particular) this should tell us a lot about those people.

He should be diplomatically dumped ASAP.

He did, however, thrash Palin with one hand tied behind him. But how hard is that?

actually, the palin/biden debate was pretty subdued. biden had the advantage but it wasn't huge. palin's job at the debate was not to say something stupid -- actually, biden's too. that debate was pretty much a nonevent, but i would say biden came out ahead. but it wasn't exactly a smackdown.

Of course its true.

But nothing will come of it, tho^<<^

You never send the outgoing politicians to jail.
Otherwise, when you are "outgoing" they may return the favour.
