VP office exempt from Freedom of Information Act

[cynatnite]

Cheney's office refuses to give any details to reporters. His office is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act, so any such request would be futile. What's more, Cheney appears to have exempted his office from having to disclose the number of appointed officials in his ranks: all other agencies have to release theirs for a government directory known as the "Plum Book."

1. Cheney is also exempt from shooting people...

in fact he's pretty much exempt from every law on the books.

4. Any Administration generally exempts itself from many, many Federal Laws

at the time they are passed. Nothing new here, unfortunately.

6. In a democracy it should be a crime for any office

to be able to hide information about what our government does and how it does it.
