Washington is caught up in a political scandal centering on former Vice President Dick Cheney. It follows a move by the new CIA director Leon Panetta to cancel a secret plan to find and kill Al-Qaeda leaders.

He says that, while in office, Cheney ordered the agency to withhold information about the anti-terror program from Congress.

According to investigative journalist and RT contributor Wayne Madsen, “This assassination team may have targeted politicians in other countries. One name mentioned was former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who may have been a victim of this program. The other name is Jonas Savimbi, the former Angolan UNITA leader, who may have outlived his usefulness as far as Mr Cheney is concerned.”

She was one of the key people that was used by CIA for creating the Taliban, and was also know as the Taliban's mother. That's how it is with CIA, they use whoever they can and when they think they don't need them anymore or they are trying to cross the CIA like in this case, they have won children to kill her. What I don't know is that why people like her never learn to predict a day like this, or maybe CIA is really capable of literally brainwashing people.

She was not meant to publicly state on TV that Osama ben Laden had been murdered. That must have tremendously angered the USA neocon cabale. It also proved she was a risky asset. Better to get rid of her before she was elected.

It's business as usual; Bush and Cheney being accused of just about every crime and vice under the sun. Why were these charges/accusations not made while or just after they left office? Why did the accusers wait so long to make the accusations?
