Cheney Calls for Legal Memos to be Declassified
Drudge Report ^ | April 20, 2009 | Drudge Report

Posted on 04/20/2009 1:42:26 PM PDT by RobinMasters

In a two part interview airing tonight and tomorrow night on FOX News Channel’s Hannity (9-10PM ET), former Vice President Dick Cheney shared his thoughts on the CIA memos that were recently declassified and also revealed his request to the CIA to declassify additional memos that confirm the success of the Bush administration’s interrogation tactics:

CHENEY:

“One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort. And there are reports that show specifically what we gained as a result of this activity. They have not been declassified.”

It wouldn’t matter if they did. They’d end up on page D24 of the Saturday papers.

Of course. This group in the administration are one sided. They even tilt to the left when they walk.

Great wish list - 180 degree difference compared to the current office holders.
Is DC anti-illegal alien?

Actually, it would probably be in the center of one of the advertisement inserts of the Sunday paper.

Wow Cheney having to ask the tough questions that PRAVDA refuses to report on as it Protects Obama from scrutiny.

Imagine, we have memos that show that Terror attacks were thwarted because of interrogation techniques that Obama has now not only compromised by ended.

Responsibility for The next successful terror attack on American soil falls squarely on the head of Obama in fact it makes him legally complicit.

There is no credibility left in the Phrase “we did everything we could do to protect American Citizens.”

Just Why Would this inferiority complex infested bunch of lying fools and Traitors do that.

Obama’s definition of transparancy: “We will only tell you the side of the story that makes us look good”

Good we have a patriot like Cheny...and Jorge Bush will simply go along with the new adminstration. Sigh...

Good job Dick.

Zero does not mind sharing top secret document with the terrorists, yet we can’t even see his supposed birth certificate.

Eight years too late. Now we're stuck with the consequences.

I don’t know...one could hope. I really wonder what the REST of the story is behind the whole illegal loving thing is.... It just doesn’t make any sense. When something happens that goes against all logic, you need to step back and look at why, rather than what is happening. Easy to deduce Cheap Labor for GOP and Victim Voting Block for Dems, but...there MUST be more to it.
