Now DM you and I both know that Faux News isn't going to touch this story. It's not fair and balanced to the ultra right so you won't hear a peep of it on Faux.
I believe it was Sen. Boxer who mentioned it on the Sunday talk shows yesterday. She told about CIA director Leon Panetta testifying that he had been told by some CIA employees on June 23 that this ultra-secret program exsisted.
He asked if Congress had been briefed and they said that VP Cheney had given instructions not to disclose information to Congress about the program. Director Panetta immediately put a stop to the program until proper oversight could be established.
Cheney had no problem doing away with Congressional oversight just like other parts of the Constitution.
