As you all heard in recent news, former Vice President Cheney is in hot water with Congress about the apparent coverup of a proposed CIA program. All the Liberals would like to see Cheney jailed for breaking the law, but let’s be realistic here, where did Cheney break the law? And who is really at fault?

In order to find out the truth, you have ask these questions. Was the program actually implemented? Why is the CIA coming out now? And, is this the truth?

The law is that in order to create a CIA counterterrorism program you must go before Congress to seek approval. So did the CIA implement a top secret assassination squad to kill Al-Queda leaders? We have no proof of this and no documents have been presented to Congress. Right now its just finger-pointing and ass covering.

Now this raises the question: why bring it up now, after 8 years of hiding it? If Cheney was really breaking the law, why did the CIA just give in and keep it a secret? Wouldn’t they have enough balls to confront Cheney about overstepping his bounds or even go public with this information? Unless, it was only a mere suggestion during a meeting and the agency had no intention to take it to Congress. Or better yet, they couldn’t trust Congress.

So is there reason to believe that this is the truth? No. I personally believe that this is another ploy to repair the reputation of Panetta and Pelosi. It makes sense, does it not? Pelosi already called the CIA a bunch of liars and Panetta is doing a good job of protecting her by singing like a canary. Is this an acceptable behavior of a Department Head? Oh wait, Mr. Panetta only inherited the lies.

Despite what the Liberals want you to believe, Cheney hasn’t done anything wrong and won’t be put in jail. Not even President Obama wants to put him in jail. I guess the evil Republicans won again.

Now, what if I am wrong and Cheney actually told the CIA to keep quiet about the program and they actually utilized it in Afghanistan? GOOD FOR CHENEY. The reason why Covert Operations work so well is that very few people know about. There is a reason why Covert Operatives, whether in the CIA or the United States military, hate politicians. They have a big mouth and people die when information is leaked. So would it be wise to tell Congress in the first place? No, and for good reasons. Could you trust a politician to keep their mouth shuts on such a risky operation? Not in today’s government. Besides, we all know that the Democrats would tell the MSM or some liberal newspaper about how ridiculous the idea was in the first place, so it would never have been approved. Instead of being used as a way to ensure victory on the Global War On Terror, it would be used as another “bullet in the gun” pointed at the Bush Administration.

Well the Obama Administration is at it again, trying to force their ways down your throat. With the newest czar, Cass Sunstein, the administration is preparing to shut down all the lies spread around by bloggers and online news organizations. You may be kissing some more of your First Amendment rights away.

Cass Sunstein, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, has been appointed as the head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. His claim to fame is his soon to be released book, “On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done.” His is also known, and possibly appointed, because of his book, “Nudge,” which encourages the government to gently force people to become human beings. In “On Rumors,” Sunstein wrote, “that we are headed for a future in which people’s beliefs are a product of social networks working as echo chambers in which false rumors spread like wildfire.” He also wrote, “We hardly need to imagine a world, however, in which people and institutions are being harmed by the rapid spread of damaging falsehoods via the Internet.” And continued with, “We live in that world. What might be done to reduce the harm?”

So what does this mean for the blogging world? It means that if you spread falsehoods about the government, you will be asked to remove your blog. You are also responsible for the comments that are posted on your article. However, if you refuse to take down your blog, you can expect to be taken to court, which will determine the fate of your blog.

The real question that is brought up is what determines a false statement?   I guess the internet regulators will decide, and you have a chance to prove them wrong in court.  But is a false statement only going to be anything that denounces Obama, his administration, or any other Liberal politician/ activist?  How about the Alaskan blogger would started the rumors of why Gov. Palin decided to leave office?  She was incorrect, but would Sunstein have deemed that a false statement?

Many people fear that this is another method to suppress the “Republican Attack Machine,” or in layman’s terms: anyone who opposes the Liberals.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when the government is regulating that, then it has been taken too far.  How would you feel if you were only stating the facts, and the government deems it a lie because it made Obama look bad?  You better hope that the judge is on the same side as you. Conservatives may again be falling victim to the vicious attacks conducted by the Liberal “victims”.

Take my blog Sunstein, I DARE YOU.
