Cheney Aide Threatened Terror To Silence DoJ Lawyer
Dick Cheney's former legal counsel David Addington threatened the consequence of mass terror attacks in order to silence Department of Justice lawyer Jack Goldsmith when he questioned the legality of the warrantless wiretapping program, according to Goldsmith's new book.

The Terror Presidency details how Bush administration officials dangled the fear of terror over critic's heads every time a whimper of dissent emerged over attempts to beef executive power.

David Addington is now Cheney's chief of staff and was once described by U.S. News and World Report as "the most powerful man you've never heard of." Immediately after 9/11, he pushed the argument that the NSA should be given carte blanche to wiretap purely domestic telephone calls and e-mails, a complete violation of the 4th Amendment.
