its a black flag program
like the old phoenix of yore, identify the bad guys and take them out, not necessarily in Iraq or Afghanistan. Thats why he shut it down after he found out about it, he is a bureaucrat, not a spook and having it happen on his watch without a presidential finding (which obama would never give because it would endorse shrub) he chickened out and shut it down

Looks like it's Cheney's personal op
http://www.cnn.com/2...llance/index.html
The CIA withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress during the Bush administration on direct orders from then-Vice President Dick Cheney, current CIA director Leon Panetta told members of Congress, a knowledgeable source confirmed to CNN. There have been rumors for some time that Cheney was running his own personal black operation. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. If it turns out that Cheney was doing this without Bush's approval or even knowledge, it might lead to lawsuits. But given how spineless the Democrats in Congress are, I doubt it. More likely the whole thing will be swept under the rug. Jay |
