The Man Who Knew Cheney's Secret
http://www.truthout.org/071509A

Tuesday 14 July 2009

by: Seymour Hersh | Visit article original @ The Daily Beast


The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh was mocked in March when he referred to Dick Cheney's secret squad of CIA assassins. Now, he talks to The Daily Beast about the next shoe to drop.

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh raised eyebrows back in March when he told an audience at the University of Minnesota that Dick Cheney ran a secret hit squad that he kept hidden from Congressional oversight.

"Congress has no oversight of it. It's an executive assassination ring essentially, and it's been going on and on and on," Hersh said at the time. He added: "Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That's been going on, in the name of all of us."

5. Sometimes it breaks only DU rules, sometimes it breaks laws.
When it's a law, like threats against the president's life, it gets suitably deleted from sight and sent to the FBI, I'd suggest.

But, when it's just silly name calling and calling out a certain user, I wish it would just be made difficult to see. That way we could get an idea of what all that crapola really is. But, it's complicated. Oh, well. Ho hum.

More to read.
