My guess is Cheney's already in the process of destroying incriminating records. Does anyone think Cheney will actually preserve these records?
Clip:
Senate Democrats on the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees last week told the White House to preserve all records produced by the Bush administration and expressed "particular concerns" whether Vice President Dick Cheney's office will comply with the law.
"We believe it is vital the presidential and vice presidential documents belonging to the American people be preserved, including those related to key national security decisions in which the (office of the vice president) played an important role," the senators wrote in the Nov. 7 letter to White House lawyer Fred Fielding. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.

The bush administration has proven that it makes it's own laws.
The shredding of incriminating papers started long ago and continues and will not stop.....why should it?
DICK Cheney does what he pleases, hasn't that been obvious?
Nothing happened when the Clinton administration destroyed records and computers.
Saying this doesn't make it true. Provide one credible news link to an article about the Clinton administration deliberately destroying or erasing records.
The Bush White House has violated record keeping laws throughout their catastrophically bad term. Why would they start now? They live by their own rules, not the laws of the land, and Congress is too scared to actually bring this to the confrontation it deserves.

No good, DC. They'll just claim that the MSM destroyed the news articles about it.
Pranks were played on the bush administration when Clinton left office. As these articles state there was no monumental damage to records. Note that this is common practice when an administration leaves office and when Clinton assumed the presidency, the first bush administration did the same to Clinton. So, the bush administration erased all voice mail messages because of 15 inappropriate messages? Utterly ridiculous.
Clip:
The accounting office said similar pranks were reported in prior transitions, including the one from Mr. Bush's father to Mr. Clinton in 1993. ''We were unable to conclude,'' it said, ''whether the 2001 transition was worse than previous ones.'' White House Vandalized In Transition, G.A.O. Finds - New York Times
Clip:
In addition, Mr. Fleischer said, the new administration found ''pornographic or obscene messages'' on the voice mail of 15 telephones. As a result, he said, ''The White House determined that we had no choice but to erase all the voice mail messages throughout the White House phone system.''
