Lawsuit: Prevent Cheney From Withholding, Destroying Documents On His Exit From Office


rawstory.com
Historians and scholars are among those joining a lawsuit aimed at preventing the Bush administration from destroying or withholding documents related to the role of the "most influential vice president in U.S. history," Dick Cheney, in forming public policy, the Washington Post reports in its Monday edition.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is expected to file the suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Monday to assert the requirement to preserve the documents in question under the post-Watergate Presidential Records Act of 1978, contrary to loopholes engineered and statements made during Cheney's time in office.

Johnsky, you are right on about the reality. I believe the WH has admitted it cannot come up with TWO YEARS of emails, but I appreciate and expect the request. Within the framework of the legal systemy lies both the ability to manipulate the system, and to correct it. We can only use what we have and we must be smarter than them in using it. As is always the case, Cheney and the Gang will be found guilty of multiple misuses of power down the line and a nice book will be written about it, later to be placed in the Bush Library. SMU is going to look like fools.
