Well, this is a matter of public record that's not going away anytime soon.

"For three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power. Finally, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Justice Department and the White House made a number of controversial legal decisions. Orchestrated by Cheney and his lawyer David Addington, the department interpreted executive power in an expansive and extraordinary way, granting President George W. Bush the power to detain, interrogate, torture, wiretap and spy -- without congressional approval or judicial review."

You are assuming there are some? Aren't we innocent until PROVEN guilty in this country anymore?

Guess the Clinton's would know alot about hiding the evidence. Will we ever know the truth about Foster? Nope, he went away, didn't he? And the stuff the Clinton's took from the White House? At least they didn't try to hide their theft from the taxpayers. Maybe that was the transparency
we were promised?

Yep and do you know why? Because he knew, I tell you, he KNEW all during those 30 years that he'd be VP some day, and he KNEW how handy this unlimited Presidential wartime power would be when he was VP, which he KNEW would happen when the worst attack in our history occurred, thus providing the perfect opportunity to use that which he'd been working on for 30 years.

Tin foil hats, forward march!

Sadly for him and the rest of the tea baggers, they did NOT KNOW this unlimited power would ever go to a soul brother by the name of Hussein.
