What makes anyone think that Cheney's records from 2000-08 are available to anyone?

Ruling on Records Delivers a Win to Cheney

By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, January 20, 2009


A federal judge yesterday rejected the claim by a coalition of historians and nonprofit groups that Vice President Cheney intended to illegally discard some of his official records, and instead accepted the pledge of a senior White House aide that key Cheney documents and other materials will be transferred as required to the National Archives.

The decision, announced on the eve of the Bush administration's handover of power, capped a long legal battle over how much discretion Cheney had to decide which documents he must preserve for history. On virtually every important legal issue in the case, including whether courts even have jurisdiction to review the matter, the Justice Department -- representing Cheney -- lost.




One of the plaintiffs, Stanley I. Kutler, an emeritus professor of history and law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, said he remains worried that "when the Archives goes to open Cheney's papers, they are going to find empty boxes."

Cheney "spent most of his time making sure he left no footprints," said Kutler, who has written two books on Watergate and President Richard M. Nixon's White House tapes. "Why did he fight this order so much if he did not have the intent to leave with these papers? I'm guessing that a lot of it will not be there."

1. Kicking to hear especially from those who think that the

President is hiding something from the past regime. I've been think about this ruling for several days but didn't have the time to go hunting for a link. If there were records, they have been long gone.

2. Didn't we see picture after picture of those big shredders

rolling into Cheney's mansion down in St. Mary's County Maryland. What do you think they were doing.

7. Let's not forget the fires in the Old Executive Office Building.

3. The day after Obama was inaugarate. Curious.

4. cheney took it all the way to the supreme court and they sided with him

he did our business in secret and we will never know what was said

ain't that america

[newspeak]

11. yeah, we don't know how much shit he did to damage us

I don't consider, nor will ever consider Darth Cheney an American. In my opinion, he and Little Boots, have blood on their hands-not just foreign, but American. I see them as heads of the insane asylum-and, that's what we've become with all of the lying blowhards that carry their water--batshite crazy in a mean, greedy way!

5. Those records are long gone. You can count on that. nt

6. Not since they had that fire to blame it on.

8. History will record DC, imo, as one of the arch criminals of the post-Industrial

Revolution era. You laugh, but think about it: as de facto president of the world's only superpower which launched pre-emptive wars of aggression in furtherance of an extreme RW PNAC agenda, creating millions of casualties and millions of refuges and orphans, Cheney also championed torture. And Cheney's fingerprints are all over the financial meltdown, a ruined economy, vast un- and underemployment, and the catastrophe brewing in the Gulf. The term monster comes to mind :P

9. ...all based on GOP Election Fraud (still in place):

1988-2004, ±3% MoE exceeded in 66 of 238 state Exit Polls:  65 shifts in vote-margin favored the Republican (98.5%) in the Vote-Count, 1 favored the Dem (1.5%)
