As I understand it, it was just a plan, not implemented. It's not unusual to develop notional plans that address a wide variety of situations. After 9/11, I'm sure a number of plans were developed. It's hard to say what Cheney had in mind and under what circumstances it may have been implemented. There is much to this story that will never see the light of day because I'm sure it's classified, and some of it will invoke executive privilege. And without knowing the whole story, it's dangerous to draw conclusions as to whether this is sinister or just intelligence planning.
Additionally, according to what I am hearing, the law is ambiguous on whether it should have been briefed to Congress and when. I think this Administration needs to be very careful because you don't want to create a CIA that is adverse to taking risks in order to get intelligence. I think we have to remind ourselves that most of us would have condoned anything right after 9/11; however, we are now looking at this some 8 years later.
