The US Senate is calling for a probe into whether former Vice President Dick Cheney ordered the concealment of clandestine CIA operations from Congress, the details of which have not been revealed so far.
The Democrats are accusing former vice-president Dick Cheney of abusing his power by reportedly telling the CIA not to speak about a secret counter-terrorism program during Congressional intelligence oversight committees.
When new CIA director Leon Panetta found out about the eight-year-old program last month, he immediately stopped it and told some members of Congress about it.
