- When Democrats reveal why Holder dropped the successful case against the new Black Panther Party for voter intimidation, and when Congress tells their committee chairs under ethics investigation, Rangel, Murtha, Dodd, Frank, to step down while under investigation, I may believe the Democratic party is interested in justice. Until then it appears the party is playing politics to keep themselves in power. 2010 can't come soon enough.

- If the CIA had a program that was discussed, maybe even researched, but never resulted in any action, why would it need to be reported to Congress? This was a non-program and the only reason it is being discussed is politics, the liberal left not liking Cheney and the liberal media not liking Cheney. It allows Pelosi to get off the hook and gives the raw meat to the rabid left thereby getting Obama back in the good graces of the left. It has nothing to do with revealing the truth, just payback.

- Actually Waters is also under investigation as well. But if the 4 committee chairs were Republicans and under investigation, the Dems and the press would be calling for them to step down from their posts as chairman. Dodd has stalled the investigation for over a year. So the Dems are not interested in justice. The Bush Justice Dept prosecuted many Republicans while in office. The Pelosi advertised squeaky clean Congress can't even investigate their own in a timely manner. Pelosi and Reid protect these people and they should resign as well.
- (AP) The CIA never briefed Congress on a sensitive counter-terrorism plan because former Vice President Dick Cheney told CIA officials not to.

This isn't disturbing to Republicans? - Reply to this comment
- The fact that the VP had a secret program within the CIA doesn't bother you?
A program that continued 6 months into the next administrations time in office... - Reply to this comment
- Joe Biden has a,"private", program to obtain neked pics of Sarah Palin.
I read it on TMZ... - Reply to this comment
- A program that spent less than a $million, never went anywhere, was discussed and dropped many times doesn't seem to be a program. Plus ex CIA director Hayden says Congress was advised. So I can only surmise that this is all to provide cover for Pelosi, and to be a distraction from the present policies of the Democrats and the Obama administration.

- Let's see, what could have happened 8 years ago???? Gosh could it be that THREE THOUSAND AMERICANS WERE KILLED IN NYC???? And Cheney's a terrorist?

- Let's see, what could have happened a few days after what happened in NYC??? Gosh, could it be that the group that claimed responsibility turned out to be the same group created, armed, trained, and funded by the CIA in another secret operation against Russia in Afghanistan, led by a family member of Bush Sr.'s Carlyle Group of companies business partners???
And what happened a couple months later? Gosh did we commence military hostilities against a country that even the pentagon admits had nothing to do with that aforementioned group, resulting in the loss of 4,000+ more American lives, not to mention upwards of a million innocent victims of that non-involved country???
Let's see, what is happening now??? Gosh, are there still suckers repeating the same already dis-proven lies to continue to justify war crimes, and crimes against humanity???
Yas, Cheney is a terrorist, and you are a terrorist supporter.

- Let's see. Kill al-Qaeda leadership. Conduct clandestine operations. Rid Iraq and the rest of the Middle East between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf of al-Qaeda operations that would have disrupted the region. Destroy al-Qaeda as a viable offensive force. Oh, and tell a hostile Congress all about it every step of the way and be confident they won't blab to the media and the enemy? Don't say it. THAT?S what I was thinking too.

- That Cheney had a "private' program for assassination only seems right up his (lack) of character and keeping his actions secret has always been one of his priorities, but this sounds fishy, even by his low standards, WHO DID HE WANT ASSASSINATED? They say al-queda, but that's was NO reason to keep it secret from a Congressional Committee. Who did he REALLY want killed?

- The mass grave of over 2,000 Taliban POW's in Afghanistan might be linked to CIA operations.

- It's NOT the program that I find most alarming, it's the "secrecy" of it that Cheney wanted, was he planning on using his PRIVATE assassination squad for others than al-queda, maybe here in the US?

- speakinup22 - I think you putting Klansmen and Palin together is a big bunch of BS. If you would do a little investigation, I am sure if you ask some school kid they will tell you how, you will find that the Klansmen were all Democrats and that the Democrats were the party pushing to keep slavery inforce. Also if you do a little study you will find that you are in left field.

- speakinup22 - you apparently are the only person on the planet other than Klansmen and Palin who disagree.

Pathetic, simply pathetic. - Reply to this comment
- Stay tuned for further adventures of Darth the Cheney.
In our next episode, we're going to do an MRI on Cheney's brain to give everyone an inside view of the inner workings of a sociopathic genocidal murderer.
And after that we're doing a 3-part mini-series on how to blow up bldgs in New York and blame it on terrorists plunging the country into not one, but two totally unnecessary wars for profit.
And baby, we're talking about big, big profits. All hail Darth the Cheney, God of Invented War!
ooh ooh, ah ah, wmd, wmd, terrorists, terrorists, bang, bang, vroom, vroom, $$$, $$$, (repeat). (Repeat, repeat, repeat)ª. - Reply to this comment
- LIARS! Do we really believe this cr*p? I mean what would be controversial about death squads against Al-Qaida. Please. We know who created Alqaida. We know who aided them. Even though supposedly that changed. But do we really believe that this whole hoopla is about assassinating Alqaida? I thought that's what we were already trying to do. Looks like they had to justify something else that we already knew they were doing.
To go back to the main points:
Torture, Elimination of Habeus corpus, falsified elections, death squads, Rendition flights, States Secrets laws, are incompatible with democracy. You can add to this list the Corporate Mainstream media, and the legal bribery of "Lobbying". The fact that these viewpoints seem to be considered "left loon" by this current totalitarian media speaks not of my radicalism or the radicalism of the public; but to the fact that we are going the way of the former soviet union: Collapse. And if Mr. Obama does not do anything about this soon, we will know that he is just a patzy for an illegitimate fascist regime. That either he cannot make the changes required to make this a functional democracy and state; and/or he does not understand fully what kind of changes we really need to make to make this a functional democratic society again. - Reply to this comment
- Cheney is a horrible, evil man. There should be a thorough investigation and if Cheney has broken the law, he should go to jail. The architects of the 8 years of Bush insanity seem to be getting away with it while a few underlings take the heat.

- This clearly shows that we also have to change the constitution to define the job of Vice President.
He cannot be given authority to issue orders since he was elected as a vice president, a person who steps in when the President is declared unable to perform his job.
He cannot be allowed to work for the President either with clear exceptions and perhaps with congressional oversight only. - Reply to this comment
- Cheney is one of the worlds worst terrorists. He should stand trial and face his punishment.
