From the NY Times of 22 Jun 2007:

Agency Is Target in Cheney Fight on Secrecy Data
For four years, Vice President Dick Cheney has resisted routine oversight of his office's handling of classified information, and when the National Archives unit that monitors classification in the executive branch objected, the vice president’s office suggested abolishing the oversight unit, according to documents released yesterday by a Democratic congressman.

Why would they fear being held accountable for what they do with secrets?

... in May 2006 a former aide in Mr. Cheney's office, Leandro Aragoncillo, pleaded guilty to passing classified information to plotters trying to overthrow the president of the Philippines.

What happened when the US government conspired institute regime change in Australia (ie Falcon and the Snowman). (Non-Americans should have no say about these things since America has *every right* to institute regime change in Australia and Phillippines - Cheney doctrine.)

Clearly only Cheney can be trusted. How many more Cheney subordinates will be found guilty of corruption? Or not if even e-mails are destroyed in violation of Federal law and without prosecution. This is a right wing wacko in power. Laws don't apply to him.

Last time we had leaders with this much contempt for the law and for American principles - the president was the crook Nixon. His VP? A convicted crook named Spiro Agnew. 30 years later - Deja vue.
