BREAKING: NYT reports Cheney told CIA to hide info from Congress
From MSNBC:
"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."

Oh my.
I just now started hearing drumbeats on Skins's island.

The CIA has secrets???!!!!! :o
Honestly this dumbass is going to destroy our ability to have any foreign intelligence.
Then again that is his mission I think.
O wants the CIA to be a partisan attack machine for domestic politics and we are now beginning to see them strongarm possible "unfriendlies" out of their jobs by insinuation and threat of expensive prosecution.
-
What newspaper has leaked more classified info than any other news source in the US? I would venture a guess that the CIA didn't tell congress because they didn't want details printed in the New York Times.

This will be yet another "Lucy and The Football" moment on DU.
Much will be posted, DUmmies will scream, nothing will happen, Darth Cheney will smile... :-)

That would be The National Security Act of 1947. (http://www.intelligence.gov/0-natsecact_1947.shtml)

Perhaps this is the relevant section?
EXCEPTIONS
Sec. 803. [50 U.S.C. 437] Except as otherwise specifically provided, the provisions of this title shall not apply to the President and Vice President, Members of the Congress, Justices of the Supreme Court, and Federal judges appointed by the President.

Schade, it sounds as if you have mixed feelings on the subject . . . :fuelfire: :tongue:

I found a better one:
SEC. 103. (50 U.S.C. 403-3] (a) PROVISION OF INTELLIGENCE. (1) Under the direction of the National Security Council, the Director of Central Intelligence shall be responsible for providing national intelligence -
(A) to the President;
(B) to the heads of departments and agencies of the executive branch;
(C) to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and senior military commanders; and
(D) where appropriate, to the Senate and House of Representatives and the committees thereof.
IOW, Pelosi, Reid, and the NYT didn't need to know jack....
