Need a place to hide a crime? Try Dick Cheney's office...

This Administration has decided that they don't need Court or Legislative approval to snoop into your personal phone records and/or internet records and messages. Makes it hard for criminals these days, eh?
But there is one super secret place where a criminal could operate above the law, the Vice-President's office.
''Thickening the haze of secrecy surrounding the executive branch, the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney has declared itself exempt from a yearly requirement to report how it uses its power to classify secret information...
...''It's part of a larger assertiveness by the Office of the Vice President and a resistance to oversight,'' said Steve Aftergood of the Project on Government Secrecy, a division of the public-interest association Federation of American Scientists. ''It's as if they're saying, 'What we do is nobody's business.''' from: Cheney's Office Declares Exemption from Secrecy Oversight.
So if this administration has made the Vice-President's office one of the few safe places in America to operate a criminal conspiracy... it makes you wonder if that isn't EXACTLY what the Vice-President is doing...
