In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress. --John Adams Second President of the United States
The Democratic members of the House of Representatives have a new motto, "Do As I say, Not as I Say." Apparently that CIA program that the Democrats are having convulsions about was authorized by Congress:
Congress originally authorized the CIA to develop the secret counterterrorism program that is now drawing fierce criticism from House Democrats who say they were kept in the dark all along, a former senior intelligence official told FOX News on Monday.
The program, which sources told FOX News was a plan to capture or kill Al Qaeda operatives, also never came close to being operational, the intelligence official said.
"This was not a program. It never began," the former official said. "The authority was given by Congress to develop this idea. ... There was no need to brief it. It wasn't a reality."
The question arises, how could Congress not know about a program they authorized. Man I think they need some Ginko with their decaff. The real truth is that these complaints have nothing to do with the CIA and/or Dick Cheney, and everything to do with the fact that the Democratic party is looking to deflect attention away from the fact that the economy is sinking deeper into the toilet every day.

“The real truth is that these complaints have nothing to do with the CIA and/or Dick Cheney, and everything to do with the fact that the Democratic party is looking to deflect attention away from the fact that the economy is sinking deeper into the toilet every day.”
That’s exactly what it is all about. Another in a long line of diversions. Expect many more as the Obama misAdministration goes down in flames.
Make your little corner of the World as flame retardant as you can.
Cue Cheney. They just keep stepping in it. I’m still waiting on the results of the torture study that shows that it worked.
BTTT
How could Congress not know? Easy...they don’t read before they vote!
