WASHINGTON - The House Intelligence Committee has asked the CIA to provide documents about the now-canceled program to target al-Qaida leaders, U.S. congressional officials said Tuesday.The move is a precursor to what will almost certainly become a full-blown investigation into the secret operation and why the program was not disclosed to Congress, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress on June 24 that he had canceled the effort to kill al-Qaida leaders with hit teams soon after learning about the operation. Panetta also told lawmakers that former Vice President Dick Cheney directed the CIA not to inform Congress of the specifics of the secret program.

Judge accuses CIA officials of fraud, unseals secret files
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/72176.htmlWhoa! Judge accuses CIA officials of fraud, unseals secret files. "A federal district judge ruled Monday that the CIA repeatedly misled him in asserting that state secrets were involved in a 15-year-old lawsuit involving allegedly illegal wiretapping. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth also ordered former CIA director George Tenet and five other CIA officials to explain their actions or face potential sanctions."

Investigating a cancelled program. Wow.
These people have such a hardon for Cheney and Bush.
They cannot accept that having prevented further attacks on the U.S. just might have been a good thing.So this is hope and change?
Sounds more like Stalinist Russia.
But given 0's tutelage from saul alinsky it is no surprise.
Keep it up.
There will be the pay back if this contrivance lumbers on.
How great a price are the democrats willing to pay? - 3 years ago

Secret prisons, torture, assassinations, kidnapping, indefinite detention without trial - anyone who doesn't support these things is truly a Stalinist. Do you get headaches, s0uthc0ast, from all that brainpower in your head?
"But given 0's tutelage from saul alinsky it is no surprise."
Where did Alinsky teach Obama? Besuki Public School or St. Francis of Assisi School in Jakarta? Punahou School in Honolulu?
I'm surprised you're able to get dressed in the morning, s0uthc0ast. I'd be shocked if you don't frequently walk into walls and shake your TV, looking for the little people inside.

While the focus is on Dick Cheney’s role, the U.S. has long had a bi-partisan assassination program.

Good, great , I'm on board. As long as there is one caveat, no immunity. Let's not pin it on the low level scape goats ( Skooter Libby) this time, I'd like to see the big dogs get what they deserve. Show of hands, how many think this is gonna happen?

What do you call a pseudo-investigation without any ability to hold people involved in criminal activities accountable?

Uh, that would be called a house hearing. Actually, now and then they call it a senate hearing.

Would have been a lot cheaper and less US lives lost than Afghanistan and Iraq. The mistake was doing both. It's the cia's job to do this otherwise what are they there for. Anyway, the real problem is we wouldn't have had an excuse to get control of an oil producer and a pipeline route. Get real sheep.
