A federal judge on Saturday ordered Dick Cheney to preserve a wide range of the records from his time as vice president.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly is a setback for the Bush administration in its effort to promote a narrow definition of materials that must be safeguarded under by the Presidential Records Act.

The Bush administration's legal position ''heightens the court's concern'' that some records may not be preserved, said the judge.

A private group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, is suing Cheney and the Executive Office of the President in an effort to ensure that no presidential records are destroyed or handled in a way that makes them unavailable to the public.

9. I agree with your post, but I do appreciate that judge's sense of humor

in believing Cheney will respect any form of transparency, accountability to the people, or the rule of law, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this comedic tragedy.

8. Who are they kidding?

Cheney will do what he wants with the records (destroy them) and nobody will touch him for it, certainly not the invertebrates from our side of the aisle. I'll bet this maniac will die comfortably in his bed, many years from now after several heart transplants. The donors will most likely be homeless vets with no family who will not be missed. There is no justice in this world.
