That Secret Program the CIA Hid From Congress

Current CIA Director Leon Panetta recently told members of Congress about some classified program that the CIA misled Congress about. Spencer Ackerman writes Panetta Wasn’t Talking About Torture

"Great piece by Newsweek’s Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff peeling back more layers from CIA Director Leon Panetta’s apparent concession that CIA misled Congress about unspecified ‘significant actions.’ Their reporting finds, contra Sam Stein, that the actions in question weren’t about the ‘enhanced interrogation program,’ but rather some other, still-classified covert program"

This AP piece by Pamela Hess has some good info: CIA Director terminated secret program.

"Democrats revealed late Tuesday that the CIA Director Leon Panetta had informed Congress in late June that the spy agency had been withholding important information about a secret program begun after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Panetta has launched an internal probe at the CIA to determine why Congress was not told about the program. Exactly what the classified program entailed is still unclear. Schakowsky, D-Ill., said Friday that the failure to inform Congress about the program was intentional. The CIA and Bush administration consciously decided not to tell Congress, she said."

Ackerman is going nuts trying to find out What The Hell Was That CIA Program About?
