If you look past the New York Times headline of how Cheney was one of the head honchos in some serious cover ups that have just recently been exposed you find this gem:

The question of how completely the C.I.A. informed Congress about sensitive programs has been hotly disputed by Democrats and Republicans since May, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the agency of failing to reveal in 2002 that it was waterboarding a terrorism suspect, a claim Mr. Panetta rejected.
The law requires the president to make sure the intelligence committees “are kept fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States, including any significant anticipated intelligence activity.” But the language of the statute, the amended National Security Act of 1947, leaves some leeway for judgment, saying such briefings should be done “to the extent consistent with due regard for the protection from unauthorized disclosure of classified information relating to sensitive intelligence sources and methods or other exceptionally sensitive matters.”
Democrats in Congress, who contend that the covert action provision was abused to cover up programs under President Bush, are seeking to change the law to permit the full committees to be briefed on more matters. President Obama, however, has threatened to veto the intelligence authorization bill if the changes go too far, and the proposal is now being negotiated by the White House and the intelligence committees.

WTF? This is the second time that the Obama administraion has been squiffy about disclosure. The last one was about not releasing potentially sensitive documents in a court case for a Islamic charity.
You will by this time have probably already heard about how Cheney was one of the head honchos for for an undisclosed CIA coverup and now he can't be reached.
I keep forgetting, we let him run the country. Oh the joy of supressed memories.
