Comments on: Cheney Linked to Concealing CIA Project

New York Times: Former Vice President Ordered CIA to Withhold Information on Counterterrorism Project from Congress

[tautomer]

Cheney never had the authority to "order" the CIA to withold information from Congress. This is like Son of Sam claiming the dog next door "ordered" him to kill people!

If I tell someone to jump off a bridge and they do, I'm hardly to blame.

bpai99-Cheney was already in the process of systematicly sp? declaring war on the whole middle east.If his little buddies had stayed in power I suspect they would have tried to attack Iran after the election. Listen real good-- For neo cons like that any country with oil is fair game!

[curiously1]

Absolute BS. In all, there were three or four islamic thugs who got water-boarded. One was a major terrorist /murderer,who under water-boarding, revealed vital info that prevented attacks. There was no systematic mass torture.
Some of you, here, will stop at nothing to damage our country, our safety and our freedom including siding with barbaric killers.

Hey, curiously1, Dickie Cheney called. You left your teeth on his nightstand.

Wow...reading some people actually trying to defend yet another violation of the Constitution by the Cheney-Bush administration is astonishing. Do you people not know or care what the actual United States stands for? At every turn, the Cheney-Bush administration did everything in their power to eliminate our founding justifications and ideals that actually make us an important part of history. It really is pathetic.

[bpai99]

It's truly terrifying for me to think how close we came to losing our way of life under the Cheney Administration. I feel it very likely that if another major terrorist attack had occurred on his watch, he would have suspended the Constitution, turned this country into a dictatorship, and launched a war against the entire Muslim world. P.S. Who knows how many other secret programs Cheney instigated and are still operating today.

[Rubeem]

so, for other countries to come here and kill thousands at a time (9/11), to come here and indoctrinate their cultures to our country is OK ??????? You wax poetic, but not realistic.

You are right! Obama is a security risk because he has a BIG MOUTH! He runs his mouth about everything!


The problem is the MEDIA! They can't keep their mouths shut! For some reason they seem to feel the necessity in printing everything he says and does. They were bad before, but they are even worse now.

[ladypirate2]

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

FISA was the law during this and FISA approved the vast majority of the requests. If Bush wanted to have the law changed, he had a Republican Congress to do so. Bush chose to ignore the law, which violated the law.
