Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh raised eyebrows back in March when he told an audience at the University of Minnesota that **** Cheney ran a secret hit squad that he kept hidden from congressional oversight.
"Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on," Hersh said at the time. He added: "Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us."

Seynour Hersh is one of the best (imo) journalists you guys in the US have, and he's been consistently right (despite the denials) on loads of issues over the years.
So, whilst Varus is keeping you all distracted with rumours of Obama being an Kenyan by birth and pictures of his 'fat wife', Cheney and Bush are, yet again, getting away with it!
I demand outrage!
