Why did it take Panetta so long to find out?
Why hasn't Pannetta fired the highest ranking CIA official who knew, but did not report it to him immediately?
Some say it was not an active program, and Pannetta says he canceled the program???
Why haven't previous CIA directors supported Pannetta's claims?

Many of these are indeed troubling questions. I'm a little more interested in who
started this program than I am in who
perpetuated it. But only a little; six months is a long time to find out about something like this and put a stop to it, I have to say.

I think the point is that it involved assassinations carried out outside the theater. The war justification is pretty sketchy. I don't even hear any right-wing commentators pulling that one out, actually.
