Cheney at it Again

Think Progess reported on Jan 4th, Cheney Falsely Suggests Warrantless Domestic Surveillance Could Have Prevented 9/11.

Cheney said "If we’d been able to do this before 9/11, we might have been able to pick up on two of the hijackers who flew a jet into the Pentagon." Problem is, that really isn't true. First off, they could listen in with a warrant, no one has suggested otherwise, FISA allows this no problem. But as determined by the 9/11 commission, the problem wasn't getting the intelligence, it was internal communications between agencies.

Why do we let these guys still spread FUD? I think we need to add something to the Oath of Office. "I will never lie to the American people." Is that asking too much?
