latimes.com — The Bush administration asked an appeals court Wednesday to overrule a federal judge and allow the White House to keep secret any records of visitors to Vice President Dick Cheney's residence and office. To make the visitor records public would be an "unprecedented intrusion into the daily operations of the vice presidency," said the DoJ.

Weird. Imagine if your boss asked you where you were, what you were doing, and who you were meeting with WHILE ON THE CLOCK and refusing him/her... how do you think you boss would react??The prez and VP need to realize that they work for US, the people, WE are their bosses! Not the other way around.

i think at this point it is evident that conquering the countries with oil using the guise of terrorism is the ultimate plan. and even if osama bin laden is still enemy #1, or was ever for that matter, then the slow country-by-country "move on once it has been dominated" approach is obviously what the current president prefers.

No doubt! Sadly, the Bush administration has no qualms about committing a shameful act:<a class="user" href="http://progressivezone.blogspot.com/2005/12/shameful-act.html">http://progressivezone.blogspot.com/2005/12/shameful-act.html</a>

Yeah, especially the leaks directly from the Bush cabinet as their own interest proscribes.

@davemeister: So now monitoring data crossing the Internet is equal to taping an individuals phone lines? Dude! Who has no clue?I see that 11 people now favor the release of Clinton Administration documents. I'm glad that we have 11 people who are not political hypocrits. Sweet!

@DannoJyD, you just clarified yet again that *you* have no clue. Monitoring data crossing the Internet *is* equal to taping an individual's phone lines. Data crossing the Internet include things like email messages and VOIP calls. The privacy of these kinds of communications is supposed to be protected under the Fourth Amendment in the same way it prohibits tapping a phone line. I highly recommend that all those who consider themselves to be patriots read a little document called the Bill of Rights:<a class="user" href="http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html">http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html</a>
