Cheney's Gambit


Dick Cheney loves secrecy. During the early days of the Post-911 crisis, it became almost a joke that the VP was in an undisclosed location. He held energy hearings, which he has kept secret -- claiming executive privilege. He's part of the executive branch, so he's privileged. Well guess what, when it suits his fancy he's not part of the executive branch, he's part of the legislative branch.

Apparently there is a federal act first signed by Bill Clinton and then reauthorized by GW that requires a reporting on all classified materials being held by one's office -- as a way of keeping track of things. Well, Tricky Dick II says he's not required to do this since he's part of the legislative branch.

What he has done is basically remove himself from any oversight. This is a man out of control and yet he has significant influence over our nation's policies and activities.

I do believe it may be time to start impeachment processes not on GW, but on Dick, the dark shadow behind the empire.
