Something to Hide

According to the Washington Post,

"Since 2003, the vice president's staff has not cooperated with an office at the National Archives and Records Administration charged with making sure the executive branch protects classified information. Cheney aides have not filed reports on their possession of classified data and at one point blocked an inspection of their office. After the Archives office pressed the matter, the documents say, Cheney's staff this year proposed eliminating it."

Cheney proposed eliminating a government office that displeased him! And one that is necessary to the national security of this country! What's more, Cheney proposed inserting a specific exemption for the vice president from the requirements of the oversight office. Republicans ought to be particularly outraged by this, seeing as how they present themselves as the "we're the only ones who take national security seriously" party. You only take such action when you have something to hide. This administration is corrupt and they don't give a damn. With 19 months to go and poll numbers about as low as they can go, why should they give a damn? I've got all kinds of expletives for this administration.
