What's the problem?
You don't give classified information to a group of people who habitually leak stuff!
I say good going Cheney.

what a loser.

Except for the part where the VP has no authority whatsoever to tell the CIA not to fulfill their duties with Congress?
He can suggest, and they can make up their own mind.
I was just commenting without knowing all the facts. I do know that the democrats leak too secret information. I don't know who, but they care about the politics of destruction more than this nation.
Since when has that EVER stopped ?
It's an interesting conflict of interest, really, since the Vice President is both an Article I and an Article II actor.
I'm sure you can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the intelligence agencies have, at the very least, inform the G8 on the congressional intelligence commission about their programs.
I don't believe the assigned duties under Article II for the VP trumps or even hint at having any authority over that.

I don't think this is accurate at all. My understanding is that they're under obligation.
Congress is on a need to know basis at all times, anything otherwise is defying the cons ution
WC, you seriously can't support on this.
It wasn't even bush who was crooked, it was this guy all along.
This guy basically did whatever he wanted for 4 or 5 straight years. No surprises here. I hope he burns in .
Say what you will. Show me some real evidence rather than this bull propaganda by republican haters. Till then, I will make remarks to piss you Kool-Aid drinking Lemmings off.
You guys buy off on this partisan propaganda, hook line and sinker.
Guess what. Congress likely was notified, but only the members on the right committees who had both the clearance and need to know. Such people will not be talking about it to disprove it wasn't talked about.
Learn a bit about national security practices before you repeat other people lies.
Prove me wrong.

you spiteful man.
Would you like a quote from the head of the CIA?
The only reason this is news is because not even the 'gang of 8' were informed.
Please do a little more research before you come out swinging the partisan card.
I read that. I said likely, and if it was classified deep enough, they will deny it.
You have to remember. The gang of 8 aren't even suppose to acknowledge what they know. Now here's the members:
* Nancy Pelosi (D), Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
* John Boehner (R), House Minority Leader
* Harry Reid (D), Senate Majority Leader
* Mitch McConnell (R), Senate Minority Leader
* Silvestre Reyes (D), Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
* Peter Hoekstra (R), Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
* Dianne Feinstein (D), Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
* Kit Bond (R), Ranking Member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Now I can see a scenario where, by executive privileged, the office of the president decided not to inform them. Quite frankly, looking at the names of some of them, I wouldn't tell them anything I want kept a secret.
Besides, the law is another one that is unenforceable. It's another law that presumes it can supersede the president's powers.
I don't really care what the truth is. I find it sad that so many people choose to use this for a reason to hate. I pity you guys when you choose to ignore the truth about the separation of powers in favor of Bush Bashing.
Again, you guys are pitiful.
We know what your stance is. You didn't need to make such a long post to rehash that partisan hackery is more important than the actual truth.
Just write 'I hate the Democrats' and you'll save yourself and us some time.
You have just turned into such a bitter partisan hack lately, it's difficult to take you seriously anymore.
Yes, I hate democrats. Still, learn a bit about National Security practices before you support probable lies. Also understand the the executive office must abide by the cons ution, but not laws passed by congress.
I really get tired of you guys demonizing the republicans over the wrong reasons. Really makes you guys look dumb. Especially since there are so many valid reason to demonize them over.

"Elevator eyes! ELEVATOR EYES!
Wrong thread.
"Elevator eyes! ELEVATOR EYES!
You've turned into a slightly more literate version of ducks.
Congrats.
Opinion.
Democrats bad. Republicans good.
So, given your understanding of the separation of powers, the president could theoretically kill someone with impunity, correct? I don't think murder is listed in the Cons ution, after all.
For Republicans a president can do what ever he wants, unless of course it is Democrat.
As opposed to democrats who think what exactly???
