Cheney told the CIA to lie to congress

The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency?s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.

tl;dr according to panetta they were under direct orders to lie. I'm certain this will just be swept under the rug and the most corrupt administration since nixon will continue to get away scott free (as will Obama as he continues all the evil shit Cheney did)

If you choose to start threads based on articles - at least ensure that you yourself are telling the truth regarding what the article states.

That is considered the responsiblity of the OP - to not generate falseness vs bias.
It is called the McOwen guideline.

The word lie is not used in the article at all.

Hmmm... I wonder how this response fits.

It's a third party source quoted in an editorial from a highly biased author working for a highly biased newspaper.

Maybe she did say it, but I'm searching for a reputable source on this and coming up blank.

replace editorial with "poor article" And replace "she did say it" with "he did keep it secret"


Also, since when is what Panetta says not driven by partisanship?
