According to the Wall Street Journal, the program which Democrats were so angry about turns out to be an effort “to carry out a 2001 presidential authorization to capture or kill al Qaeda operatives.” Excuse me, but this is the Democrats’ idea of a scandal? Most Americans would not only expect, but demand, that the CIA do everything in its power to kill al-Qaeda operatives before they strike our country. Indeed, the Obama administration itself has reportedly escalated targeted killings of al-Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan using Predator and Reaper drones. These targeted killings are not assassinations — they are legitimate strikes against an enemy that has declared war on us and attacked us where we live.

They why wasn't the program disclosed? This was the same administration that leaked it's ass off when it served their purposes.
It is likely that this secret porgram included torture (of course that has been denied and we're supposed to believe that?)
By the way, did you know Bush never lied?
By the the time at least two al Qaeda had been waterboarded over 100 times before 3/03, Dilawar had been tortured to death at Bagram AFB in 10/02, CIA torture sites had been set up in Romania and various other places, certainly was just the tip of the iceberg of Cheney's secret program, GW Bush made this statement on June 26, 2003:
The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment. - GW Bush, 6/26/03
Yea, Bush never lied. lol!
The definition of "torture" is up for debate.
But perhaps you may have found an example to give credence to the "Bush Lied" meme!! Way to go, "Anonymous"!! Of course, that is not what you losers have alleged he "lied" about previously.
Oh, "why wasn't it disclosed"? I don't know, but I'm sure there was some nefarious purpose, ya know?
Yes, and why did the CIA destroy the torture videos? And another thing you won't read on NRO...
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou, speaking with the BBC, said that Zubaydah’s torture began “at the very end of May or the very beginning of June 2002.”
Bush administration lawyers did not issue memorandum supportive of torture until August of that year.
Kiriakou said that President Bush had personally given written authorization for Zubaydah’s torture.
Not only was the Yoo's legal rationale for torture questionable, the torture began prior to the legal clearance.
Bush authorized torture illegally, lied about it, and covered it up. How's that for a moral values president?
Case closed and there is a mountain of evidence to convict him.
Go AG Holder.

"Torture"? Says who?
"Illegal authorization"? Says who?
"Cover up"? Says who?
Not at National Review? Well then I definitely would never see it.
Give me a break, "Anonymous."
