Cheney says he will talk in his upcoming book... pointing out that

"the statute of limitations has passed on many of the secrets"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32398177/ns/politics-washington_post/

What do you think that means? Is he saying they committed crimes? Thats what it sounds like!!!

I knew Cheney was pissed at Bush, but did not think he might go this far?

Any thoughts?

Not until I read the book. From what I've heard it speaks on how he was disappointed Bush became more conciliatory in his second term and distanced himself from Cheney. We'll see what he comes up with, I'm looking forward to reading it.

But they dont have statutes of limitations on disappointments do they?

He would not be my hero. He would, most likely, be saying ya, we broke the law, but it was the right thing to do, and we should have broken it worse.

I doubt that, but it never hurts to have a dream..:)

I figure nothing new, just a way to prop up book sales.
He will likely elaborate a bit on some things we already knew.

They do on Presidential information. It stays classified for specific period (statute of limitations), it's part of the FOIA.

I thought that as VP, Cheney fell under no laws, according to him. If so, isn't the SoL meaningless?

No, the VP is specifically listed in that same legislation as to follow the exact same rules as the POTUS.

I understand the sarcasm, but there is nothing that says it means there is something illegal, the classification falls off after a specific period when they leave office.

It's hype. One thing that, knowing Cheney, will be found in the book rarely, is
honesty. He remains one of the least admired men in the world.

I meant no sarcasm, I merely stated Cheney's own position on the place of the VP under Constitutional Law.

Any thoughts?Yea, he wants to make a lot of money selling a book. Do you really think he's going to revel anything of substance?

Report: Cheney Says Bush Went Soft

WASHINGTON (Aug. 13) - Former Vice President Dick Cheney believes his old boss, President George W. Bush, gradually turned away from his advice during their second term in the White House, showing a surprising independence as he started taking more flexible positions on a range of issues, The Washington Post reported Wednesday...

...the former vice president believes Bush made concessions to public sentiment, something Cheney views as moral weakness. After years of praising Bush as a man of resolve, Cheney now intimates that the former president turned out to be more like an ordinary politician in the end, Gellman says...

Ya, its likely just to sell books. But would it not be great if his fued with Bush led him to give detales of some of those conversations...!

Maybe he'll fool us all and publish a book on developing alternative fuels or a book on gun safety?

See? Please check my first post.... Cheney is going to "shock" the world on how Bush separated himself and became too conciliatory.
