ViceZilla’s Views

There has always been something about Dick Cheney that made me nervous. Was it his smarmy, shit eating grin? Or maybe it was because he always looked like a sleepy lizard looking for a warm rock to lay on that made me question his motives. Either way, there is something about him that reeks “evil” whenever you look at him.

That “evil” was once again used to put him and his office of the Vice President above the law. Cheney is refusing to co-operate with the Information Security Oversight Office, a unit of the National Archives by not complying with routine requests for data on his staff’s classification of internal documents.

All executive branches of the government routinely comply with the oversight requirements, including the National Security Council.

The National Archives is an executive branch department headed by a presidential appointee, and it is assigned to collect the data on classified documents under a presidential executive order. Its Information Security Oversight Office is the archives division that oversees classification and declassification. The executive order states that it applies to any “entity within the executive branch that comes into the possession of classified information.”

You can’t tell me that the office of the Vice President of the United States does not have in it’s possession any classified information!

So the bottom line is, at least in Cheney’s mind is that he and his office are above the law. But in our minds, as we know it to be true is Cheney and his office are hiding the skeletons of the Bush Administration’s evil doings.

Its a shame to see “the government of the people, by the people, for the people” slip silently into a coma because of the “holier than thou” pedestal the Bush Administration has perched themselves on.
