- Supposedly Cheney withheld CIA information from congress. Obama reported top secret CIA activities to the media. Which one do you think is the worst security risk, the one who withheld information and can keep a secret or the one who blabs everything to the media?

- They're no more treasonous than when Obama reported top secret CIA activities in Guantanamo Bay to the media!

- Don't blame the media because they only report what he says! If Obama doesn't say it, they won't report it!

ladypirate- Sooo how are things in Somalia?
I'm not in Somalia! I'm an American and I live right here in the United States! I call myself ladypirate because I support my local football team who are called the Pirates! - Reply to this comment
- If you want to call someone a gangster you should read about Obama's friends and activities in Chicago! I suggest reading a book called "The Case Against Barack Obama" by David Freddoso. You will learn a lot of things about our present president and you probably won't like what you read!

- In all of the eight years that Bush was in office he didn't destroy the USA even half as much as Obama has managed to do in just six months! At least George Bush didn't turn this country into a communist state like Obama is doing more and more everyday! And as for me going to prison, the last time I checked the constitution still gives me the right of freedom of speech just as it does you. I have just as much right to comment on these comment boards as you do. I haven't done or said anything that is unconstitutional or against the law or even immoral except in your eyes. Therefore you have no right to say that I should be in prison just because you don't agree with me! You do have the right to disagree with me but that is the only right that you have concerning me. I also have the right to disagree with you but neither of us has the right to say that the other should not have the right of freedom of speech or that the other should be sent to prison because of our political beliefs!

ladypirate...
Before you post, it might be a good idea to check into some FACTS.
The most blaring fact you have neglected is that it is ILLEGAL for the CIA to act WITHIN the USA. Their charter expressly forbids this activity, though other agencies are not prohibited.
Another more debatable, but still factual point you ignore is that the CIA can legally keep certain details of their activity secret from the Congress members they are required to brief, thus certain "top secret" information remains only available to the agency and the Executive branch.
If some big mouthed congressman reported classified information to the media, he or she would be feeding that mouth with food served in a federal prison. This is why we still don't know exactly what classified program is being discussed in this article.
Do you think Obama should go to prison? He reported top secret CIA activities in Guantanamo Bay! Therefore he did exactly what you're saying that the congressmen and Bush and Cheney should be sent to prison for! I think you have a double standard! When you think a republican reports top secret CIA activities, according to you, they should be sent to prison but what about when a democrat like the president does the same thing? - Reply to this comment

"Former Vice President Dick Cheney ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to withhold information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years"
--------------------
The non-transparent, secret fascist dictatorship of the bush/cheney cabal is finally being exposed for the corrupt criminals most of us knew they were!
Only you bushevik lovers of the EVIL dirty dickie cheney are still making sorry excuses for the power-hungry, corrupt criminals the vast majority of Americans saw the bush/cheney treasonous WAR CRIMINALS as.
Time for America to get back on the right path with WAR CRIMES trials for all the treasonous busheviks, and public hangings for those found guilty of crimes against our great nation like dirty dickie!
Just like I told someone else in this comment board, don't hold your breath until it happens! - Reply to this comment
- Cheney was president all along, and Bush was his mouthpiece acting as president. Towards the end after Liddy, Bush backed Cheney off, and they were angry a lot especially when Bush would not give Gordon Liddy a complete pardon. Cheney lived at the CIA. Valarie Plame said he came sometimes 5 times a day to the CIA.Papa Bush wanted his secretary of defense in there to help his little boy, and did he ever.If any democrat did half of what these two did to this country the republicans would be shouting in the streets it would look like Iran is today.
