So what are the "significant actions" that these seven lawmakers insist were kept from Congress? Another theory being bandied about concerns an "executive assassination ring" that was allegedly set up and answered to former Vice President Dick Cheney. The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, building off earlier reporting from the New York Times, dropped news of that ring's apparent existence in a March 2009 discussion sponsored by the University of Minnesota.
"It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently," Hersh said. "They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates, the secretary of defense. They reported directly to him. ...

by anonymous fish on Thu Jul 09, 2009 03:43 PM PDTI assumed your inclusion by past comments. I apologize for that. I still feel however that your comment is just a step away from the standard "crap all over the US" rhetoric. I am as fully aware of my country's weaknesses as I am its strengths. I no more appreciate the all-inclusive insults to the US than you do Iran. Cheney is a vicious lying scumbag of the worst degree. Believe me... he has betrayed the American people far more than he has anyone in Iran. But I do not measure my government by one man, or anyone elses. :-)

And for those who looks at the US goverment's past, finds many example of such practices.

by anonymous fish on Thu Jul 09, 2009 02:15 PM PDTIt's unfair to lump Cheney in with ALL of the US government or ALL Americans. To do so will invite the comparison of rotten Iranians to all Iranians and the crimes of the mullahs to crimes of ALL Iranian governmental decisions. Nothing is absolute... :-)
yummy yummy yummy
by anonymous fish on Thu Jul 09, 2009 02:11 PM PDTI saw a few minutes of this on Keith Olberman last night. Didn't get to watch the whole thing. I CAN NOT WAIT for this to unfold. Surely they can find something to put this DISEASED SCUMBAG EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING in jail this time.
Lovely, our beloved Cheney
by Bavafa on Thu Jul 09, 2009 02:04 PM PDTBut ohh nooo, he doesn't do any thing wrong, immoral or for sure illegal, nor the US government ever do any of these.
