Cheney ordered intel withheld from Congress-senator



WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) - The CIA withheld information from Congress about a secret counterterrorism program on orders from former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, a leading U.S. senator said on Sunday.

Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein told Fox News Sunday that CIA Director Leon Panetta disclosed Cheney’s involvement when he briefed members of Congress two weeks ago. She said Panetta told them he had canceled the program.

President Barack Obama appointed Panetta to head the agency early this year. The still-secret program, which The New York Times said never became operational, began after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

News of Cheney’s involvement, first reported by the Times late on Saturday, prompted an outpouring of criticism by Obama’s fellow Democrats and support by rival Republicans in Congress.

Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said: "Director Panetta did brief us two weeks ago — I believe it was on the 24th of June — ... and, as had been reported, did tell us that he was told that the vice president had ordered that the program not be briefed to the Congress."

Couple things;
You are totally wrong, Bin Laden broke the Soviet Union.

Cheney went to the CIA and sat with agents until he got what he wanted. The VP was using his power to force low-level workers to fix it the way he wanted it. Cheney wanted his war. When Blair was reluctant about a reason for going in, Bush told him not to worry, they would fix the intel.
