>> SD, so what's the big deal over a "secret counterterrorism program"?

It is a really, really good point.

Beyond that, the Left has lost any credibility on questioning Cheney's (and Bush's) so-called "secrecy". The new administration, as it turns out, is far more secretive than those guys ever were, refusing to release even the basics like the WH Visitor's log, and of course, the interrogation results which show that waterboarding works.

These guys are all about "disclosure" until they're called on to disclose something THEY don't want disclosed.

It was kept secret for over 8 years.....that's got to be a record and the reason it was kept secret was because they didn't tell congress....of course they didn't have to because it was never operational. But the liberals are having a field day anyway. Don't spoil their fun. :-)

It's against the law for the CIA not to inform congress of their activities.

I know the congress, for the most part, are just a bunch of partisan morons. But they're our elected representatives. You can't have a democracy if you have a secret branch of government operating without the oversight of our elected representatives, even if that means Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner...
