Cheney may have leaked secret video in Gitmo case.
Lawyers for Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr have alleged that Vice President Dick Cheney’s office leaked a secret video of Khadr in Afghanistan to CBS’ 60 Minutes after a judge denied a prosecution request to play the video in court. Former Gitmo chief prosecutor Col. Morris Davis told Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler — Khadr’s lawyer — that Cheney’s office may have been involved. Kuebler said that if proven, the leak is a “clear violation of the protective orders that are in place” in the case.

This should surprise no one that Cheney doesn't believe in the rule of LAW.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:38 pmCheney ignoring the lawful orders of a Court? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you...
/sarc
March 4th, 2008 at 1:41 pmCheney:
March 4th, 2008 at 1:41 pm"So? Gonna shoot me?"
Who cares? Cheney could be seen on tape loading nuns into woodchippers and nothing would be done.
What a pathetic nation.

March 4th, 2008 at 1:42 pmTainting the court proceedings? Sure, why not. After all, this is the same person who orchestrated the destruction of a major covert CIA operation, both as a political vendetta, and as a means to further his war aims.

Ahhh hell,
Cheney's the
Leaker in Chief...

Case closed.

Congress doesn't care to enforce the law, so who cares?
The Presidents can do what ever they want with impunity.
They're unimpeachable, unaccountable, untouchable.

March 4th, 2008 at 1:46 pmI hereby rename His Leaking Soullessness Incontinentia Buttocks
March 4th, 2008 at 1:47 pmCheney is the shining dark star of this terrible administration. Another bad aftertaste that will be the Bush legacy.
I pray our country survives them. I also pray we never allow the republicans to forget just how terrible these partisan hacks are.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:48 pmOoooh, somebody call a hearing so witnesses can claim executive privilege and not show up. This could get not interesting.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:49 pmYa but does that law apply to the Executive branch; if so then legally Mr. Cheney is officially a member of the Office of the Vice President (OVP); however if the law applies to members of the OVP, then too bad because legally Mr. Chenelly is officially a member of the Senate of the United States; However if the law applies to members of the United States Senate... then Mr. Cheney is legally a member of the Executive branch of the United States government.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:49 pmImpeach Cheney first.

March 4th, 2008 at 1:56 pmI am only hoping that the Boy-King drops his pants and moon both Congress and the people of the United States before he leaves office, after all they deserve it and we deserve it. Its shameful how the biggest wimp in Texas can bully everyone in Congress. Either that or the people who pay the bills for both parties, you know that 1 percent of Americans who have been doing really well the last 7 years, they just don't want no stinking impeachment or investigations to get in the way of all that money making.
Just another non-law abiding day in Bushdom Paradise!
No wonder other countries are laughing at us.
This administration continues to rule above the law, and we...... do....... NOTHING!!!!
March 4th, 2008 at 1:57 pmHo-hum... another egregious breach of the law and judicial ethics by our puppetmaster Vice-President...
When does American Idol start?

I just want to know what's in it for Congress?
WHAT DOES CONGRESS SUPPORT AND DEFEND IF NOT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA?

March 4th, 2008 at 2:01 pm"Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations,—entangling alliances with none; the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigour, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; …freedom of religion; freedom of the press; freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus; and trial by juries impartially selected, — these principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation."

March 4th, 2008 at 2:05 pmSo much for the law and order party.
Libby, 4th Amendment, political hiring at Justice, this next Cheney thing, etc......
Hey Repubs, prepare for th '08 tidal wave. It's coming in November!!
March 4th, 2008 at 2:07 pmIf the President... or the vicePresident... does it, it can't be in violation of anything.
Right?
Right?
Unless the Pres and VP happen to be from the Left.
March 4th, 2008 at 2:07 pmRight?

March 4th, 2008 at 2:09 pmThat ain't nothing, wait till the hearings on March 13-16 in Washington about real atrocities, against real humans gets cranked up!
Anyhow it's the Regressive Republican Party, all it's Water-Carrying Sycophants that pledged total obedience to Bush/Cheney War Machine that are responsible for that Marine's action, and all other war crimes committed in the name of stopping the terrorists from calling home!
That marine will pay for his actions you can rest assured, unlike the leadership in this Administration!
By the way, it's just like a troll to try and change the subject?
I imagine your A-OK with Cheney's alleged actions right, since you didn't comment on them?
Call in the Bobbit lady. This administration need to have its Dick chopped off.
March 4th, 2008 at 2:16 pmImpeach now!
March 4th, 2008 at 2:22 pmMadame Speaker, please refresh my memory. Impeachment is off the table because...why?

I believe it would be called blackmail. I don't think Congress wants the telecom stuff to come out anymore than this rogue administration for their dirty laundry would also be aired.
Saving oneself. First and foremost for all of our elected officials.
March 4th, 2008 at 3:11 pmbtw, what is that SOB up to these days?
March 4th, 2008 at 4:23 pmhe's been out of the public eye more so than usual.
you just know that bastard is conjuring-up some evil plan.
Ya know these clowns have broken the law so many times I don't even know what the law is anymore or if it makes any difference. It's just a joke. Bush and Cheney have made a mockery of our whole judicial system. Never is my life have I seen anything like it and I hope I never see it again but I'm not holding my breath.
March 4th, 2008 at 5:17 pmYa know, if any of this stuff is ever proven, the WH will have cast a shadow of suspicion on almost any federal case.
