The New York Times is reporting that former Vice President Dick Cheney personally directed the CIA to keep a still unidentified counter-terrorism program secret from congress for 8 years. This revelation comes after the current director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, killed the program immediately after learning of it in June.
CNN quotes an anonymous source: "When a CIA unit brought this matter to Director Panetta's attention, it was with the recommendation that it be shared with Congress. That was also his view, and he took swift, decisive action to put it into effect."
The program never went operational.

Hi.
Can someone tell me, when people like dick cheney, start to be punished for their mistakes. This man, should be, on FBI most wanted sided by osama bin laden. Let me give you an example, of what i mine. Iran has 2 nuclear reactors, they were sold by a french company! Do you know, that dick is one of the investors (owners) of that company!? I believe that american people, should remove their politicians and get new ones. It's never to late for a revolution even in a democracy. Well, american leaders always say they live on a democracy! I see a teocracy.
regards from Portugal
I'm curious to know if the anonymous sources are correct in that the Cheney program was a black-op assassination ring which took place in places OTHER than the Middle East. Will we ever know?
