"Very Serious" Non-Oversight CIA Black Project Ended - Polidicks

[url]http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gQDNMgQrXYHlGWd9F3063DLFpiHAD99BMNVG2[/url] [quote]WASHINGTON (AP) — CIA Director Leon Panetta has terminated a "very serious" covert program the spy agency kept secret from Congress for eight years, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a House Intelligence subcommittee chairwoman, said Friday. "The program is a very, very serious program and [B]certainly deserved a serious debate [/B]at the time and through the years," Schakowsky told The Associated Press in an interview. "But now it's over." Democrats revealed late Tuesday that CIA Director Leon Panetta had informed members of the House Intelligence Committee on June 24 that the spy agency had been withholding important information about a secret intelligence program begun after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. [B]Schakowsky described Panetta as "stunned" that he had not been informed of the program until nearly five months into his tenure as director.[/B] Panetta has launched an internal probe at the CIA to determine why Congress was not told about the program. Exactly what the classified program entailed is still unclear. [B]The intelligence official said the program was "on-again/off-again" and that it was never fully operational, but he would not provide details.[/B] [B]"It's not as if this was an oversight and over the years it just got buried. There was a decision under several directors of the CIA and administration not to tell the Congress," she said.[/B] Schakowsky, who chairs the Intelligence subcommittee on oversight and investigations, said in a Thursday letter to Reyes that the CIA's lying was systematic and inexcusable. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press on Friday. She said Reyes indicated to her the committee would conduct a probe into whether the CIA violated the National Security Act, which requires, with rare exceptions, that Congress be informed of covert activities. She told AP she hopes to conduct at least part of the investigation for the committee. She said this is the fourth time that she knows of that the CIA has misled Congress or not informed it in a timely manner since she began serving on the Intelligence Committee two and half years ago. What Pelosi knew about the CIA's interrogation program and when she knew it — and why she did not object to it sooner — is expected to be emphasized by Republicans during debate over the intelligence bill. [/quote] This is probablly as bad as it gets. Nobody knew about this but President Bush and the CIA themselves. Considering the CIA conducted torture, violated the constitution, I'm thinking this is like electoral-fraud level shit. This sounds [B]really[/B] bad. Oh and that slut Pelosi knew about it too. Let the conspiracy theories fly...

Bush did 9/11

[QUOTE=lum1naire;15964089]Bush did 9/11[/QUOTE] and Gettysburg. I bet you they were making another America.

Ultra-secret shit at the CIA is kinda creepy.

All I got from that was "the CIA is doing secret shit". What were they doing exactly?

[QUOTE=Jenkem;15964920]Oh, be quiet. Obama hasn't done our constitution any favors, but I don't see anyone screaming about him, except those "damn conspiracy theorist" republicans, of course...[/QUOTE] What exactly has he done?

Just because the high-level CIA and government guys seem to be figuring this out now instead of 40 years ago doesn't mean it's anything spectacular or horrible.

[QUOTE=lum1naire;15964089]Bush did 9/11[/QUOTE] can I have some of your cocain?

Oh shit, I hope that wasn't the super secret weather balloon project.

it's the CIA, of course they're doing secret shit they don't want anyone to know about probably the same kind of thing going on all over the world, this is nothing new

I know the secret. Obama shot JFK.

CIA or MI6?

[QUOTE=McSanchez;15965952]I know the secret. Obama shot JFK.[/QUOTE] he used the LHC aka the gate to hell to launch the bullet into the past!!

[QUOTE=power-mad;15965781]Oh shit, I hope that wasn't the super secret weather balloon project.[/QUOTE] It was swamp gas.

Before I die, I want you guys to know one thing The super secret CIA project was to install in congress humungous ball plaype-

Sounds serious.

[QUOTE=BusterBluth;15966559]Good thing he had time to press submit reply[/QUOTE] His head fell on a conveniently placed mouse? just after he typo'd a dash on there?

What's funny is Americans think this affects us. Not particularly. The CIA is a foreign intelligence agency. They aren't allowed to operate within U.S. boarders in the sense of intelligence gathering. That's the FBI's job. The people this really effects are everybody who is Not America, with the possible exceptions of anybody on Facepunch who happens to be a CIA operative.

well it is about an operation after 9/11. Maybe coaxing the U.S. government to attack Iraq?
