Default Dick Cheney

Always a very secretive guy, believed
in the power of the executive branch (especially
the VP part of it) and so he decides he would
like some government information about torture
released to the public to show it is helpful and necessary.

The CIA was requested by Cheney to release the info.

Oh the irony...

A C.I.A. spokesman, Paul Gimigliano, on Thursday explained that under the executive order governing classified information, documents that are the subject of pending litigation cannot be reviewed for release.

“For that reason – and that reason only – C.I.A. did not accept Mr. Cheney’s request for a mandatory declassification review,” Mr. Gimigliano said. “The agency simply followed the executive order.”

I just cannot believe he would ask that
anything be made public after all the crap
he pulled.

He really made it very clear during his tenture
that the public had no business fiddling in government
affairs. And then he goes and asks for CIA documents
be made public?

Pelosi is apparently a liar. She is backtracking big time.
Oh I did know in 2003 about the torture but
was not given accurate information. Digging
herself further in. Now she admits she did get info
about torture early on but it was not accurate.

I totally believe that some things that pertain to our government should not be transparent......I think Dick is calling Obamas bluff by asking that documents be released about what information was obtained. After great thought it seems the president doesnt think that bringing all this to light was such a brainstorm ..... good call on the presidents part and in hindsight Im sure he wishes that he would have let sleeping dogs lie , but he didnt and so he will do the some back peddling and say its to protect troops when in fact he knows he should have just kept his pie hole shut.

the only individual hurt by this so far is Pelosi and how sweet it is.

Waiting for the 'I was medicated because I had one of my facelifts' excuse from old Nancy.

Probably true.
Cheney has already died a few times.
I guess he just likes making a fool of himself.
