This assertion is potentially libelous and needs further attribution. Despite numerous sources, it’s origination is illusive to date. To wit: Dick Cheney is said to have contacted the Afghanistan station chief to encourage Xe (aka Blackwater) to recruit a sufficient number of martyr-inclined al-Qaeda or Taliban zealots to infiltrate the US for purposes of pointed terrorism and destruction of emotionally symbolic targets, a la Statue of liberty, Wall Street, NYSE, Golden Gate Bridge et al. Timing critical to influence Obama’s defeat in 2012, and to exonerate Mr. Cheney with an ‘I-told-you-so exclamation regarding Obama’s weakness on defense and Attorney General Holder’s ‘political’ investigation of CIA enhanced interrogation techniques, including water boarding. Sources requesting to remain unnamed said Mr Panetta was not pleased with the command circumvention, but for the interim would await direct fact-finding consultation before commenting further.

The fact that nobody wants to talk about this interview because of the seriousness of the interview subject only reinforces the fact that we as a nation need to pass laws for protection not just for the U.S. but the world where ex-CIA chiefs (leaders) can not be presidents.
