Durbin: Probe possible Cheney concealment (AP)
Durbin: Probe possible Cheney concealment

WASHINGTON – Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin says Congress should investigate whether former Vice President Dick Cheney and others in the Bush administration ordered the CIA to conceal the existence of a counterterrorism program.

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Durbin says it may have been an illegal act if such a program was hidden from Congress.

The comments by the Illinois Democrat came in response to a New York Times story that the CIA withheld information for eight years on direct orders from Cheney.

2. What exactly is the violation? Concealing the info, ordering the info
be concealed, or the VP giving orders directly to the CIA?
