THE ANSWER IS CHENEY....

and you get bonus points if you also named Addington. The question? Who was recently named as being the person who told the CIA not to share important information with Congress? Rep. Hoekstra is normally a good GOP soldier on these issues but on this, even he thinks something is wrong:
Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the top Republican on the House intelligence committee, said last week that he believed Congress would have approved of the program only in the angry and panicky days after 9/11, on 9/12, he said, but not later, after fears and tempers had begun to cool.

Mr. Hoekstra, the intelligence committee’s ranking Republican, said he would not judge the agency harshly in the case of the unidentified program, because it was not fully operational. But he said that in general, the agency had not been as forthcoming as the law required.

“We have to pull the information out of them to get what we need,” Mr. Hoekstra said.
