You know this Steve? Interesting how little you know...and still try to write.

Probably true, no member of congress can be trusted with covert information....including liberal republicans and democrats....they all have big mouths that are more concerned with re-election, then our national security.

[Mortarman29]

Too true.

I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Thanks. I was hoping one of you guys would say something to demonstrate just how quickly the right would turn on the CIA in order to CYA.

[curiously1]

Actually, I support the plan to kill / capture terrorists. Furthermore, we need to do the same thing with gangs inside the U.S. Enough of this cat 'n mouse game !

It also keeps the focus away from the 9.5% unemployment, pathetic stock market, shrinking GDP and quadrupled spending deficit that Congress has created.

[tautomer]

Oh no!!! A plot to assasinate Al-Qaeda leaders!!! Al-Qaeda are some of Feinstein's favorite people.

The funny thing is, Dick Cheney, never had the authority to "order" the CIA to withold imformation from Congress. Any culpability rests with the CIA.

Congress wants desperately to create a smokescreen to hide it's own ineptitude at improving the economy.

[Mortarman29]

Too true.

[Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California, the head of the intelligence committee, suggests the Bush administration broke the law by concealing the program from Congress. ]

you're kidding? i'm sure they would never think to break the law ... or for that matter ... to do anything only for the result and not care at all about how they got there ... never!

I know one thing: You sure spend an awful lot of time on-line to be on the public dime.

[hclinton2012]

Nancy Pelosi should be on trial for teason against this Country, calling the CIA as the "bad guy", what JOKE?

[hclinton2012]

Give information about any Top Secret plan for the CIA to Congress, FRONT PAGE news to the NYT? By whom? Democrats in Congress, treason on their part against the American people!

[ibsteve2u]

This issue does have one advantage to the right: It keeps America's focus away from the decision process that lead us to invade Iraq in the first place.

Referring to efforts to kill or capture the enemy and keep the methods used from leaking to the press by way of self serving politicians as 'immoral logic' IS disparaging to our sons and daughters in the military and is in fact sypathetic to the enemy."

Sacrificing our system of government by using illegal methods to achieve goals which were illegal to start with - even CHENEY has come out and said that the presence of al Qaeda in Iraq was untrue - is just compounding treachery with more treachery.

[mraghavan]

What else could we expect? I am glad that their term is finally over!

[schotzy81]

Wow the CIA was working on a plant to kill Al Qaida terrorists.

Only Pelosi, Obama and the rest of the Democrats would be surprised by this. Is there anyone else in the entire US that didn't think the CIA was trying to kill terrorists?

Headline Yesterday...
Americans soldiers dying in Afghanistan at a record rate...

The fun thing about playing with the leftties is it keeps their intent and the immoral logic that they use to justify their actions on display in front of America and the world.

************

Now if only I had said something to disparage our Armed Forces or to wish them anything but quick and absolute victory, your ploy of attempting to paint me as a traitor wouldn't be so transparent.

My primary grievance with that last Administration is that they got a lot of people killed for no good reason.

First, by inventing reasons to invade Iraq.

Second, by sending a small and under-armored force in order to keep projected costs down and so protect their tax cuts.

Third, by resisting any increase in force levels for so long - again, to hide the damage the war was doing to the nation's budget.

Fourth, by funding the war "off the books", again to hide the negative impact on the national debt.

Fifth, for diverting our forces away from Afghanistan, thus allowing the Taliban and al Qaeda time to rest and rearm.

Sixth, for allowing Osama bin Laden to get away.

For those six reasons, I consider Bush, Cheney, & PNAC, LLP to be traitors, whose treason was committed in the pursuit of - to use the old phrase - filthy lucre.

[smoknmirrors]

OMG, Bush wanted to capture or kill Al Qaeda terrorists? How about them apples, Delano? People attack this country and we want to capture or kill them! Geegollywhillikersbyjimminygoldarn, what is this world coming to? And no one in Congress figured this out for eight years? Maybe Intelligence is too strong a term; maybe the House Blindfolded Guessing Committee would be more accurate.

Kinda makes you wonder why it took a democratic changem to bring this to light!!! You people in both parties remind me of the mindset in America before and during WWII. It was a treasonous act to question the leadership about actions that "Precipitated" the war with Japan and led to the need to go after hitler near the same time. Now here you go again. You can't say that the truth was 'hidden' from you in this electronic day and age. You just never went out and looked for it. The people of the 30's 40's and 50's really were limited in their knowledge of what was going on at the time. Telephones and radio were sprinkled through the land so communication was not like it is today. Quit griping about what the former President 'did' in 8 years or what the current President hasn't done in 6 months and seek out the truth . then you might be qualified to sit in judgement of the current legislative body in Washington. Until then, most aren't qualified to open their mouths.
