    Why Isn’t Cheney in Jail?

    Why Isn’t Cheney in Jail?

    George Washington Blog
    Sunday, July 12, 2009

    As I wrote yesterday about the CIA program that Panetta recently disclosed to Congress:

    As a former CIA agent says, the real question is who ordered the CIA to withhold the information from Congress . . .

    In a nation of laws, Bush, Cheney – or whoever in the White House ordered the cover-up of the operation – would be prosecuted.

    We now know who ordered the cover-up.

    It was in fact Cheney.

    According to the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/us/po ... ml?_r=3&hp

    The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency’s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees…

    The disclosure about Mr. Cheney’s role in the unidentified C.I.A. program comes a day after an inspector general’s report underscored the central role of the former vice president’s office in restricting to a small circle of officials knowledge of the National Security Agency’s program of eavesdropping without warrants, a degree of secrecy that the report concluded had hurt the effectiveness of the counterterrorism surveillance effort.

    This is not the first time Cheney has broken the law. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2009/03/ ... -dick.html

    Cheney Is Linked to Concealment of C.I.A. Project

    The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency’s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.

    The report that Mr. Cheney was behind the decision to conceal the still-unidentified program from Congress deepened the mystery surrounding it, suggesting that the Bush administration had put a high priority on the program and its secrecy.

    Mr. Panetta, who ended the program when he first learned of its existence from subordinates on June 23, briefed the two intelligence committees about it in separate closed sessions the next day.

    Efforts to reach Mr. Cheney through relatives and associates were unsuccessful.

    The question of how completely the C.I.A. informed Congress about sensitive programs has been hotly disputed by Democrats and Republicans since May, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the agency of failing to reveal in 2002 that it was waterboarding a terrorism suspect, a claim Mr. Panetta rejected.

    The law requires the president to make sure the intelligence committees “are kept fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States, including any significant anticipated intelligence activity.â€

    Impeach the most dangerous to our nation now.

    Let's impeach Obama, Reid and Pelosi first and then make our way over to Bush and Cheney.
