As usual gutless Washington Republicans missed an opportunity to demand the firing of this hack ideologue democrat Napolitano. She absolutely does not belong in this job.

no Jake, Cheney is calling for the release of what he refers to as the "effectiveness memos" -- different documents than the ones Obama released. Cheney, after years of ignoring the law that requires the executive branch to disclose what docs they have chosen to classify to the National Archives, is now calling for some of those very memos to be released by Obama.

You remember his famous excuse? Because I am the president of the senate I have legislative duties therefore I am not bound to comply with laws that govern of the executive branch. So he did not have to disclose the docs he classified in is role as VP because of his part time job as senate president -- same job held by his predecessors who did comply. Is anyone else picturing the Aflack duck commercials with Yogi Berra? Huh?????

How is it very bad for our enemies to hear that we waterboarded prisoners in the wake of 911?

it's Urkel.

To answer your question, no. Cheny is not a criminal for referring to declassified memos. He is a criminal for referring to CLASSIFIED -- unreleased CLASSIFIED documents. The ones he claims he held in his hands. The ones he went on to share the details of during that interview last week -- was it w/ Hannity?

My reaction to that specific instance is to say he cannot do that. It is illegal.

As for the others, show me something specific and I'll tell you if it is illegal or not.

Seriously damaged our future security how? How? Describe this "serious damage." This should be entertaining coming from a guy who thinks the President committed treason by declassifying documents. The President is allowed to do that. They have to be declassified in order to discuss them. Former VPs do not have authority to declassify them or discuss them.

Cheney broke the law; Obama did not.

That said, I would like to see the results, too. If they show success -- real success, not Neal's twisted description of how we found out about the Library Tower -- I might begin to think John McCain is wrong. What Neal ignores is that we knew about the plans to attack the Library Tower before we interrogated the terrorists who told us about them. All they did was confirm something we had already prevented.

That is the biggest spin of the whole column. In case you didn't notice, PresBo gave away the secrets. Cheney only wants to give away the results. Publishing the results will not put us in danger.
If referring to classified information is against the law, what is releasing the actual memos? PresBo has seriously damasged our future security by taking away tools which we need to protect ourselves. This was a treasonous act and should be treated accordingly. God deliver us from this collection of lunatics.

Neal and John Boner (R-Ohio) want to focus on what Pelosi knew or didn't know regarding the use of waterboarding. Fair enough but what could she have done to stop it? It was classified information, she can't discuss it.

Unlike Dick Cheney who called for Obama to release the memos he claims describe how waterboarding prevented the "Second Wave" attacks. By referring to classified information, Cheney broke the law. Had Pelosi done that, you can bet your @ss Boortz and others worse than him would be calling for formal charges.

The more important question is why did Cheney completely reverse his position on declassifying the torture memos? One day he wants to say Obama hurt our nation by releasing the memos and the next day he is calling for more memos to be released?

Either Cheney wasn't lying about the classified documents he claims he held in his hands and therefore broke the law by discussing them or he was lying and there are no memos that will justify the use of waterboarding.

Until McCain says waterboarding isn't torture, I have to believe it is.

I think Venezuela ought to "give" the refineries and other North American infrastructure of CITGO to the US government, who can then sell it to a US oil company, maybe one of them that got reamed over by Chavez.

"Aren't you glad that you live in a country where you don't have deploy troops into the streets when the government increases taxes?"

Not really. I'd have more faith in our nation if troops were required when the government tries to increase our taxes.

its a trick by that dirty dictator. don't accept it. and kill those bald eagles. they're traitors
