New Battle Over Executive Privilege Is Looming in Washington

A new executive privilege battle is looming in Washington as a federal appeals court considers whether to intervene in an election-eve dispute over records of visitors to Vice President Cheney's home at the Naval Observatory, as well as his offices in the White House complex.

Last month, a federal judge in Washington, Ricardo Urbina, ordered the Secret Service to disclose two years of visitor logs to the Washington Post immediately or explain in detail why the records are exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Justice Department has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to block Judge Urbina's order to allow the parties to present more extensive legal arguments about the dispute.

"Disclosure of the records at issue could reveal an ever-expanding mosaic that would allow observers to chart the course of vice presidential contacts and deliberations in unprecedented fashion," government attorneys argued in a brief filed yesterday. "Such an unwarranted intrusion into the most sensitive deliberations of the vice presidency cannot be countenanced."

Judge Urbina and the Post cited the upcoming election as a reason for expeditious release of the logs.

1. And while they're at it, I hope we end up getting to see

which oil industry executives met with Cheney to write our national energy policy and plot the invasion of Iraq at the beginning of the * misadministration.

[whistle]

2. Maybe Dick Cheney was visited by extraterrestrials who gave him

...an infusion enema of a whole new set of genetic material. Dick Cheney now has a new all seeing cosmic eye protruding from his ass. I wonder what his mantra will be?

3. And a big ole SHREDDER TRUCK

was spotted at his house this week. He's an arrogant steaming load who has no respect for our system of government. His house of cards will fall in time.

4. Both are public offices and their

logs should be available...
