Cheney's Secret Program: How Many Directions?

[tekisui]

How many directions could an investigation take? What specific laws were violated?

Is it legal for a VP to order the CIA to do anything?

Is it legal for the CIA to withhold info from Congress?

Is it legal for the Executive Branch to order concealing info?

What were the programs that were kept secret? The secrecy suggests possible illegality.

Who else answered directly to cheney? What other programs and actions were kept from Congress?

There are a lot of questions that need to be investigated. Now is the time for Holder and Congress to get prosecutors and investigations moving.

1. Hmm...

"Is it legal for a VP to order the CIA to do anything?"

No, but Cheney was actually the President.

"Is it legal for the CIA to withhold info from Congress?"

No, but what Congress doesn't know can't hurt Cheney.

"What were the programs that were kept secret? The secrecy suggests possible illegality."

Illegal? Why do you hate Cheney so? I'll bet you hate the baby Jebus, too.

"Who else answered directly to cheney? What other programs and actions were kept from Congress?"

Everyone answers to Cheney. Those programs and actions are none of your business. Just look at this flashing light.

6. And while we are asking questions about cheney,

can we also try to find out about his secret energy meetings???

3. "What specific laws were violated?"

Difficult to say since no one even knows what this program is.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. "What specific laws were followed?"

Would be a much less laborious question to answer.

5. Exactly. (nt)

8. Oh, we can't investigate this!

Because it would, uh, you know, it would, er, compromise national security! Yeah, that's the ticket. "National security." If you remember playing games as a kid, it operates on the same principle as "King's X."
