Another secretive power-grab by the Bush administration is coming to light:
The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency’s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.
By this point, it should surprise no one that the administration acted in such a manner. But I must make one point: All departments of the executive branch report to the president, not the vice president. So how could Cheney issue such an order?
