The Office of Vice President Dick Cheney told an agency within the National Archives that for purposes of securing classified information, the Vice President's office is not an 'entity within the executive branch' according to a letter released Thursday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Flat out lying headlines.

“for purposes of securing classified information” which is entirely correct.

I'm wondering what parts of this story have been conveniently left out, considering the source (Raw Story, left wing rag)

thank you silat.. I would not know about all the obscure lefty sites on the internet if not for you... following your links is always an eye opener. I always feel a little dirty and can't force myself to read too much on em but it is probly good to see what the other side has in mind for my life.

attacking the source and not the content isn't debating the issue.

Fact is that DC doesn't want his office to have to preserve records as required by law. So he's going to ignore said law, same ol, same ol.

If you slog thru what and how an executive order works and then think about why Cheney did this it becomes moot. Only if the president really gets upset will something come out of this other than Waxman and the media having yet another feeding frenzy on Cheney is the left hand of Bush/Lucifer and drinks the bloood of new borns.

Cheney has locked down his office since the Palme B.S.. Armitage outed her, but one of Cheney's staff payed because a witch hunt in D.C. is always great entertainment and you never know how many other scandels can be generated and careers you can ruin in the process. Waxman is a low rent politician trying to make his legacy bones as the "Bulldog of the Potomac". The media is having a slow news week and knows any administration Lib or Con can string this kind of a burp out for 4-8 years if they want to.

2008 a new V.P will be in office and all of Cheney's current classified documents will have been turned in to the archive. End of B.S. moot point.

I wish E.T. would finally land and hold a press conference so the media and the Kook base would have something a bit more interesting to frenzy about.

And

to your post.(However, don't expect to see Silat reply, he rarely does, since *his* kool-aid comes with slide-on blinders.

Since he's stated that he's not part of the Executive Branch, it looks like the House of Representatives will be discussing removing his office from the executive funding bill next week. Makes sense.
