Obama Administration to Cheney: Request Denied

Weekly Standard ^

[Abathar]

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!...

[sitkaspruce]

I am shocked to find out the Obama administration does not want to release information that would be favorable to the Bush administration.

[colonialhk]

His mistake was not lying. Had he lied he would have everything he asked for. See telling the truth in DC will get you nowhere.

[HiTech RedNeck]

When a Rat says there is no smoke, there has to be fire.

[trisham]

Of course. Lying and manipulation of the truth are stock in trade for Obama and his minions.

[cranked]

The request denial was a given.

[anniegetyourgun]

So much for transparency.

[Abathar]

Of course there is, Mr. Cheney knows exactly what those reports say or he wouldn’t have asked to have them released.

Obama was damned if he did, damned if he didn’t when the request was made, Mr. Cheney is playing this administration like a fiddle right now.

[river rat]

The LAST thing the black racist thugocracy of the Obama administration want released is the TRUTH.

They are no different from a bunch of illiterate bozos complaining over EVERYTHING their oppositions has done - but totally incapable of improving upon ANYTHING....

They are not unlike a bunch of monkeys who threw their feces on the White House and now must live within the mess they created...

[lonestar67]

Then the Obama administration broke the law by releasing their side of the debate. They were also subject to this legal contest.

[bigbob]

wow, must have been a close vote...

[MrB]

That’s what’s great about the former Veep and these FOIA requests...

He KNOWS WHAT’S THERE.

That’s what handicaps most people - they don’t know what to ask for.

[scooby321]

File FOIA request in the 9th Circuit.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yes, he knows what’s there, and so does George W. Bush. Bush is laying low for now. But methinks before this Obamadrama has played itself out, Bush will be back on the stage, and not entirely to boos and hisses.

[TribalPrincess2U]

The rejection of Cheney’s request will almost certainly intensify the public back-and-forth between the former vice president and the current administration.

I can tell you it will MOST certainly intensify the already low respect for 0 and more eyes are opening.

However, their strategy of doing everything as fast as they can before we wake up enough is coming true.

[pennboricua]

V.P. Cheney should now seek to be added to the Amnesty International suit.
and press for faster disclosure.

[Emile]

White House officials have told reporters and members of Congress that the Cheney memos do not bolster the case for enhanced interrogation, as Cheney has suggested. But they have nonetheless refused to release them.

Reminds me of something else they won't release:

White House officials have told reporters and members of Congress that the release of a true copy of Pres__ent 0's birth certificate does not bolster the case that he's constitutionally unqualified to be president, as many have suggested. But they have nonetheless refused to release it.

[MortMan]

Because someone asked to see it, the administration doesn’t have to decide if anyone can see it?!? WTH?

[halo66]

Between this and Pelosi/CIA saga somebody better be on the lookout for the next ‘Sandy Berger’ of this Administration! Won't be long before documents are being stuffed in pants and socks.
