CIA Director Leon Panetta has terminated a “very serious” covert program the spy agency kept secret from Congress for eight years, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a House Intelligence subcommittee chairwoman, said Friday.

“The program is a very, very serious program and certainly deserved a serious debate at the time and through the years,” Schakowsky told The Associated Press in an interview. “But now it’s over.”

Just wonderful. Wonder what it was they were up to? I’m sure I don’t really want to know, but I do hope that at some point in my lifetime it comes out, so we can all be appalled.
