Durbin: Cheney's Secret Program 'Could Be Illegal'

Does anyone doubt that if a Dem president had ordered the CIA not to disclose a secret program that the Repubs would not be all over it and calling for an investigation and impeachment? It is blatantly against the law to not disclose a program to Congress. It is a very specific law that everyone knows about. For Cheney to order any program to not be told to congress is a clear violation of this law. It is not like he is disclosing it to all of Congress, but to the gang of eight, the 4 most powerful congressmen and senators from either party. That is hardly a intelligence leak, unless you are doing something underhanded and questionable. Cheney should be held accountable to laws, just as any person should be in this country. I don't care if he has no punishment, but this should be a black mark on his career and place in history.

What a disgrace!! When will the impeachment begin?

The Pentagon Preemptive Operations Group.

P2OG.

The Vice Presidents' Secret Army.

The idea was, to secretly "stimulate" (simulate?) terrorist activity in order to provide the REAL Army a target...in the place and time desired.

Think about it. And think about how it was that Building Seven fell down. Into its' footprint. On Cue. After everyone left the building AND THEN WAITED TO WATCH IT FALL.

Something WRONG there, isn't there. It's EXPLOSIVES. isn't it. And so is this story. What do you suppose the story IS?

Investigate. Arrest. Prosecute. Convict. Imprison. just like you would if it was me.

If true, impeach.

Don't look at Obama destroying America, look at Cheney who didn't inform congress of a non-operational, "sometimes off and on", top secret, "never fully operational", CIA program.
The world must really be getting a laugh at us now.

Cheney and Gonzalez and Rove should have been charged long ago, but leave it to the gov't wait until change of guard, then to all of the sudden start to investigate....Dubya did what his cronies wanted, and Darth Cheney ran the show, you see it in his evil grin, and until the ole ticker finally stops, neither will he-

Rumor has it that the program is a top-secret CIA assasination ring. Thank goodness Obama hasn't authorized the use of Predator Drones on high value targets.

Frosted flake - - your name says it all. Conspiracy theorist ! !

When will everyone accept the fact that Obama is now president..... has to deal with what IS .... instead of blaming everything on the previous administration that has kept us safe for 8 years. The deficit was also lower - - with wars going on - than the anointed one has created in 6 months.

No they won't. Obama wants to use the same excuses to use the same power against his political enemies... Governments almost never give back power, once they have taken it from the people.

LMAo This coming from the Senator Durbin that called the American fighting forces Nazi's
This is just a smoke screen to divert attention away from Nancy pelosi and the failing Obama adminstration >Got Jobs? Lmao

Hey how's them Black Panthers doing after the voter fraud and voter intimidation that Barry ordered Eric not to press charges on

Just another way of the democrats shifting attention away from themselves. They dont want everyone to see how expensive their healthcare program and the next "stimulus bill" is really going to be.

Given the humanitarian dereliction displayed by some in congress and the judicial branch. I don't know that congress can govern itself enough not to cause "leaks". By the way, how is obama's surge in Afghanistan going?

INTERESTING how conservatives, who claim to favor limited government with limited powers, are just THRILLED when the government increases its snooping and spying on them. Makes so-oooo much sense, right?

Actually, Mr. Kyl, the former Vice President had no responsibilities regarding national security of the country -- and I've even been told that if you asked him he'd say he wasn't even a member of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government.

Yes, there should be an investigation -- and you know that. It's time to grow up and do your job and stop protecting the shadier characters in your party.

Idiots ,lib. you need to fucus to Obama and his administation ,they did a lof of damages to our national security,release terrorists , sided with our ennemy (Chavez), plan to open our border for all illegals and terrorists , we are tired of this lib. administration.

Doing all kinds of crap in the name of secret program.

cheney along with bush should be in jail..i wish obama would stand up and dig out and up the info that will put teh worst president and vice president in american history in jail.

thankfully we have removed alot of teh evil republicans and will continue to remove even more in coming elections. god is really shineing his love on america as he helps us get republicans out of american politics

Darth Cheney has been very chatty lately. I wonder why he nor his daughter have not spoke about this cover up.

lol.. we wouldn't need stimulas packages if the republicans wouldn't consistently run the country into the ground everytime they take over the white house. And the Bush administration has done more damage than even the recession in the 80's during the Reagan years. And health care reform should have been instituted decades ago. Our healthcare system is one of the worst in the World.

i love it darth cheney. he reminds me of darth sedious. and his power of the dark side.

bea--so very true we have best hospitals and docters but very few people can afford to go to them.

The American people are not stupid what this is all about ISSSSSSSSS FANCY NANCY KNEW ABOUT WATERBOARDING WHEN IT HAPPENED AND SHE SAT UP THERE AND LIED THROUGH HER TEETH AND SHES LOOKING FOR POLITICAL COVER. WERE NOT STUPID AND TO THE THINK WE ARE IS PURE ARROGANCE.PERIOD

Does anyone here know what security clearance is required to be held by the Members of Congress???

NONE!!!

Who do you think "undisclosed sources in Congress" is referring to, the janitor??

And then you wonder why Congress (the Legislative Branch) aren't told "secrets" by the Executive Branch.

Why did Obama do a sudden ABOUT FACE on his position regarding the war in Iraq, literally hours after his FIRST National Security Briefing after assuming his role as leader of the Executive Branch??? Yeah, there's something Congress doesn't know - and that's probably BEST for this nation, and therefore there's even MORE than we don't know... but that doesn't stop most of us from talking like we were flies on the wall during the decision-making process.

Obama is a FASCIST, and like all Fascist criminalizing political enemies, smears, and propaganda are typcial. ABC is a propaganda site and we all know it...........Obama is trying to criminalize the republicans because he sees them as treat to his 2012 run.
