Sugarshack, Once again, like I tell another "left of center" member of the group; "You should read the article several times before you post something in response".
Let's review, follow me closely here: (From your article) "Several officials say Tenet ended the program in 2004 BECAUSE THE AGENCY COULD NOT WORK OUT THE PRACTICAL DETAILS TO PUT IT INTO USE during its first three-year incarnation." In other words, the "plan" never went into affect. Vice President Cheney followed the law. The Congress isn't informed on every conceivable idea, thought process, or "plan" that are never instituted or put into place. Again, much ado about nothing, with the attempt to detract the American public, and cover Nanc's lying ass.
