The Democrats are about as corrupt as the Republicans. They allowed these crimes to occur regularly during the Bush Administration, and are also on the corporate payroll.

Yet another reason I vote for the Green Party.

That is just so unfair and untrue. I expected better from you and I deserve, at least, honesty. I have said before that if the CIA concealed something that they should not have that it should be investigated. I have called for an investigation into Pelosi’s charges even if it leads to her exoneration. Please don’t lie about me.

I’m putting forward the very simple and important point that the applicable statute allows the exec branch to conceal this type information – congress gave them the right to do so!

Maybe you didn’t read the letter that the intelligence cmte released, jennD, but it was designed to cover Pelosis rear end – there’s simply no doubt about that.

I read a variety of news/opinion sources – as evidenced by my participation here. It would serve you well to do similar. Greg obviously peruses HotAir and Weekly Standard, he must watch FNC – what does that make him?

I didn’t respond to booger because he seems to think that if Cheney says he is not part of the exec branch then that makes it true. How can you argue with that sort of logic and insight?

And that’s almost as intelligent or true as what you say right here – “he just calls you stupid or a hypocrite.” Indeed, that’s all I ever do Jenn – you and I have never discussed anything at all have we?

For one thing, Jenn, I am bringing some actual facts to the discussion here – this is something that I have seen little discussed here and I believe it bears some thought. Secondly, you and I both know that this all came about as a spectacularly misguided effort to cover Pelosi’s butt regarding another matter entirely. It’s obvious to all but the most partisan that this amounts to nothing more than rank politicization of intelligence.

Am I privy to the details? No, are you? I don’t even understand that one.

@chris: Gee, I dunno – perhaps because the post has a handy link to the statute in question? I thought, oh, I don’t know, some of us might want to read it?

I love Greenwald – he’s the best liberal basher of Obama out there!

@sbj: since you are sending over this immediate response to negate the inquiries of the Congress, do you know something that nobody else knows? You seem to be automatically defending Cheney before an inquiry has even begun. Are you privy to the details of this particular program and how it was handled between the CIA, Cheney and Congress?…just curious since you are so quick to deflect, once again.

First of all, since you’re referencing a rightwing rag like the weeklystandard.com blogsite, let’s just see what the investigation uncovers before we jump to desperate rightwing blogger conclusions, shall we? If there’s one thing that you delusional and dangerously ignorant wingnuts have proven repeatedly over the past 8 years, it’s that you’re rarely right about anything.

Secondly, I don’t see anything in your comments stating that the VICE president can do anything he damn well pleases. And, since your boy Dick is on record saying that the VP is NOT part of the executive branch, that excludes him from that nondisclosure statement regardless. Ooopsies.

Sanford’s antics triggered an internal CIA discussion re perhaps resurrecting its operational aspects.  That’s how it got Panetta’s attention.  The rest is (ongoing) history.
