The Justice Department this week released Attorney General Michael Mukasey's recommendation that President Bush invoke executive privilege in refusing to release to Congress transcripts of Dick Cheney's conversations with the FBI.

The seven-page letter (pdf), dated July 15, argues that disclosure of such records would hinder future presidents' ability to receive guidance from their advisers because Cheney's conversations detailed internal White House deliberations. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee requested the transcripts along with other documents related to its investigation into the leak of former CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity.

2. So according to Muks logic

If the guidance a president is receiving is illegal or recommends that he disobey the law, we the people who have temporarily hired him, are not allowed to hinder such illegal activity.
These assholes must know the antiAmerican nature of their conversations or they would never go to such extremes to bullshit the public.
