Obama staff 'offends' Cheney with CIA probe BY JOSH MEYER Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney lashed out at President Barack Obama on Sunday, saying the Justice Department's decision to investigate whether CIA operatives broke the law while interrogating terrorism suspects was politically motivated and dangerous to national security. "I just think it's an outrageous political act that will do great damage long-term to our capacity to be able to have people take on difficult jobs, make difficult decisions, without having to worry about what the next administration is going to say," Cheney said in an interview that aired on "Fox News Sunday." He also refused to say whether he would cooperate with the Justice Department s inquiry. "It will depend on the circumstances and what I think their activities are really involved in," Cheney said. Fox's formal interview, conducted last week at Cheney's Wyoming ranch, was his first since Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced last Monday that he was conducting a preliminary review into the actions of certain CIA interrogators who might have exceeded the techniques approved by the Bush administration's Justice Department. Obama administration officials said they would have no comment. But one official called Cheney's remarks inaccurate and misleading. Senators appearing on the Sunday talk shows also weighed in on the controversy. Sen. Maria Cantwell, DWash., said Holder's inquiry is necessary and justified. "No one is above the law. And this is not a political process. This is a legal process to find out whether the law was broken," she said on CNN's "State of the Union." Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., expressed misgivings. She said she understood Holder's reasons for launching the probe, but "the timing of this is not very good" because the Senate intelligence committee, which she chairs, is investigating CIA interrogation and detention techniques. "Candidly, I wish the attorney general had waited," she said on CBS's "Face the Nation." BRIDAL FAIRE Sat, Sept 19 10AMto5PM USU Student Center 'Insurance AgencyUmSSO til 'Main SL.

Both attorneys have left the Justice Department: Jay S. Bybee is now a federal judge, and John Yoo is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Cheney said Obama should have stopped Holder from ordering the review because the president had promised not to investigate CIA personnel. The Obama administration official said the president had never pledged to absolve all CIA officers of any potential wrongdoing — just those who followed the law. "Nothing has changed," said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue. Also, the official said, career prosecutors in the Bush administration's Justice Department were the first to recommend that some attorneys be disbarred for their roles in the coercive techniques. Cheney also said on Fox — as he has before — that the Bush administration's "enhanced interrogation techniques" saved American lives and prevented terrorist attacks. The techniques included waterboarding, which simulates drowning. It was used repeatedly on three top al-Qaida leaders, including 183 times on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the avowed ringleader of 9/11. Cheney said the Obama administration's second-guessing of the Bush administration "offends the hell out of me, frankly." "The approach of the Obama administration should be to come to those people who were involved in that policy and say, how did you do it?" Cheney said. "Instead, they're out there now threatening to disbar the lawyers who gave us the legal opinions." Cheney's comments appeared to be the first Bush administration confirmation that a still-classified Justice Department report will recommend that two former department lawyers be disbarred for Gunmen kill 8 in drive-by CULIACAN, Mexico -- It was a street party at a popular gathering place, typical of Saturday nights in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Drinks, a musical band, a joining together of the mostly young. Then, shortly before midnight, a white double-cabin pickup screeched to a stop on Palm Tree Street in the town of Navolato. At least four gunmen burst from the vehicle and sprayed the party with semiautomatic gunfire. Eight people were killed, among them women and teenagers. Several more were seriously wounded and remain hospitalized Sunday, said Jose Luis Leyva of the state prosecutor's office in Culiacan, the state capital about 20 miles to the east. The shooting may have been part of a string of apparent vigilante attacks in which low-level criminals have been killed by armed squads thought to be working with drug traffickers, police - or both. More than 30 carjackers and robbers have been killed in similar circumstances in Sinaloa in the last few months, according to a count kept here by journalists. Two of the victims in Saturday's shootings !iad criminal records for stealing cars, Leyva said in a rushed news conference Sunday. "Anything is possible," he said. The dead included two boys ages 15 and 16 and two women ages 18 and 25, Leyva said. k^OnTftMi Ready for a Baby? You may be eligible for $$cash upon delivery!
