Cheney `는 주문했다 계획을' 숨기기 위하여 CIA를

딕 체니 이전 미국 부통령은 CIA에 직접적인 의회, 미국 매체 보고 할말에게서 정보 프로그램을 은폐하기 위하여 명령을 내렸다.

프로그램의 실존, 9/11 후에 체제는 8 년간, 숨겨지고 동등한 지금 그것의 성격은 알려지지 않는다.

Leon Panetta CIA 지도자는 그가 그것의 지난 달 배울 때 프로젝트를 포기하고 말한다.

그는 지금 집 위원회가 씨가 기밀의 뒤에 이었다 Cheney, 무명 미국 근원 말한ㄴ다는 것을 말했다.

씨에게서 Cheney 아무 코멘트도 계속 없다.

설전

요구는 CIA와 의회 정상 사이에서 점점 쓴 줄의 속에 중요한 정보가 기관의 가동의 다른 양상에 관하여 보류되었다는 것을 온다.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has claimed that the CIA misled her about interrogation methods including waterboarding, while other senior Democrats have quoted Mr Panetta as admitting that his agency regularly misled Congress before he took office.

Details of the newly-revealed secret programme have still not been divulged, but sources say it did not relate to the CIA’s rendition programme, interrogation methods or a controversial domestic surveillance project.

Officials quoted by the New York Times say the programme was launched by anti-terror operatives at the CIA soon after the 2001 attacks, and involved planning and training but never became fully operational.

Another unnamed official told AP it was an embryonic intelligence-gathering effort, aimed at yielding intelligence that would be used to conduct covert operations abroad.

Sources have told a number of US media outlets Mr Cheney personally instructed the CIA to withhold information about the programme from Congress.

Mr Panetta - who took over directorship of the CIA under President Obama’s administration - is said to have learnt about the programme only on 23 June.

The next day he called an emergency meeting with congressional intelligence committees to tell them about its existence and to say that it was being cancelled, the reports say.

Veto threat

The allegations come as Democrats in Congress are trying to push through new rules that would increase the number of members of Congress who are told about covert operations.

The White House is threatening to veto the bill, fearing that operational secrecy could be compromised.

The CIA has not commented on the reports of Mr Cheney’s role.

“It’s not agency practice to discuss what may or may not have been said in a classified briefing,” said spokesman Paul Gimigliano.

“When a CIA unit brought this matter to Director Panetta’s attention, it was with the recommendation that it be shared appropriately with Congress. That was also his view, and he took swift, decisive action to put it into effect.”

A CIA spokesman insisted earlier this week that “it is not the policy or practice of the CIA to mislead Congress.”
