Won't release any of Cheney's FBI security reviews

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has refused to turn over 89 percent of Vice President Dick Cheney's FBI records in response to a request for records under the Freedom of Information Act.

The bureau has released 112 of 1061 pages reviewed after a two-year investigation following a request by San Francisco blogger Michael Petrelis, who filed the request prior to the 2004 election. Portions of nearly all pages released have been redacted.

The first of the files relate to Cheney's FBI field review when he was appointed to serve in the Nixon White House. The request, made by Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman, was filed Aug. 28, 1969. Ehrlichman later became famous for his creation of the "Plumbers," the group at the center of the Nixon Watergate scandal. The Nixon adviser resigned in 1973 and served 18 months in prison for obstruction of justice.

The FBI declined to release the results of any of the Vice President's FBI field reviews, conducted repeatedly since 1969 for various federal appointments under several Republican Administrations. The records show that such investigations occurred in 1969, 1974 and 1989.
