Here's something fishy. I had a WaPo story dated October 28, 2001 detailing the program as proof the Dems were well aware of it, I even looked at it this morning and it was still there. Now that I came across the below story I was going to link it, funny thing is now its been scrubbed entirely from the WaPo website, not even a cached version is available. One hell of a coincidence especially considering the significance of the story.....

Isn’t it funny how Peloozi gets caught in a lie, and the RAT in charge of the FBI puts the lie to her... but then, after letters from other RAT politicians, changes his story when the U-Know-What is about to hit the fan in regards to Peloozi... Nothing like political power being brought to bear.
Now - to create a distraction away from the traitor-in-chief, his racist appointee to the SCOTUS, his releasing of terrorists responsible for the deaths of hundreds of US military, and his headlong march to true Marxism, they now will begin “hearings” - what we can be certain is a sham/kangaroo court of an affair to try to rekindle the perceived anger at Cheney and Bush.
Hey Dems - take ownership of your own crap. Hey America - wake up and smell the turds floating in the swimming pool of America’s government - and flush the toilet!
Bread and wine for the mob!
I read that story this morning... you are right, it was scrubbed today! What a bunch of commies! After I read the article I posted a sentence from it that was very interesting:
Under customary international law and Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, according to those familiar with the memo, taking the life of a terrorist to preempt an imminent or continuing threat of attack is analogous to self-defense against conventional attack.
So IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO KILL TERRORISTS WHO ARE PLOTTING TO KILL YOU!! Call it "assassination" or whatever you want. To the typical American that has red blood flowing through his veins this is called defending yourself and your fellow countryman!
Isn't it amazing, now we have the head of the CIA jumping on the "looney" band wagon with Pelosi and her followers! Americans need to wake up and see what these democrats are doing to our national security! Their "politics" are going to get more Americans killed with their stupidity.

However a NY Times Dec 15, 2002 link is still active per this thread titled "Democrats to investigate secret program reported by NYT in 2002 ...Panetta steps in it!"
Passed on Sept.18, 2001 Congress authorized President Bush to utilize the armed forces to target "persons" and not just nations.

Joint Resolution
SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. (a) IN GENERAL.That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations,or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
I've been out of the loop on this issue for a few days -- last I heard they hadn't said exactly what the program was, though I did see CNN's coverage pointing out that the program was never even initiated, as close as CNN is likely to come to admitting that this is much ado about absolutely nothing. Is there coverage on the precise nature of this CIA program?
I think we’re about due for another Cheney smackdown of the Dimwitted Party.
I remember when all this asassination was in the news...I’d look for Tim Russert stuff...
why are the DEMOCRATS scared of the CIA?
could it be the democrats are/are talking to the enemies of the USA?
Is anyone looking into the evidence that Pelosi DID know about the use of waterboarding?
