"A senior intelligence official tells MSNBC that the CIA has received NO such request
from the Vice President." Andrea "dead-face" Mitchell just reported that re: Cheney and his claim that he made a formal request to declassify the memos that prove torture worked to provide useful information. Shocker! :rofl:

3. He's all talk. He tells HANNITY that he made a formal request when he knew he did no such thing.
It has already been reported that NO useful information came from those who were tortured.

41. You mean to say Cheney LIED??? I'm so shocked !!
Let's see, how many times has that man misled the American people.....

"We know where the WMD's are"

"We will accomplish our mission in Iraq in weeks if not days"

"We are turning the corner" oh wait, maybe that was Bush in 2006.

43. Well, now according to Chris Matthews, he DID request the memos to be released...
he reported that on his show just a little while ago. He said the one CIA guy didn't know because the CIA is such a large institution. :eyes:

Like everyone on Faux, for example. :D

2. Lying comes so easily
to these guys. And they know it doesn't matter, he said it on Fox, they will repeat it a thousand times whether it's true or not.

16. And if he made or makes the request, there will still be no such proof.
That's not to deny that there might be Bushista memos trying to 'prove' such a lie.

Edited on Tue Apr-21-09 01:03 PM by jenmito
raises the question of when is it appropriate to use 'enhanced interrogation techniques..." re: Cheney when Cillizza just said Cheney is still out there with part 2 of his interview on Faux. And she ended by saying, "He IS sticking to his convictions..." Doesn't she remember what she just reported about half an hour ago??? :eyes:

along with a side note that Cheney did not request the info.

42. I hate to report this, but Chris Matthews said he DID request the release of the memos to the CIA...
and that the CIA agent who claimed he DIDN'T just didn't know. Hmmm...let's see what happens. Like a couple people here said, he knows his request will be denied anyway since he's just a citizen now.

28. I'm glad she followed up on that again.
cause no one mentioned it after Andrea Mitchell broke that "news" earlier. Can he even ask the CIA to declassify memos?? Does he even have that authority? I am new to all this..

30. So am I...
and as ex-VP, he can probably request it. But they don't have to do it although if they DID, it would show torture didn't work.

33. No standing. He's a civilian now.
The whole thing was posturing for the brain-dead Faux News watchers.

He could file a FOIA request if he wanted to. But I doubt he will.

Thats awesome! I wondered when i heard him say it where the fuck he thought he had the power to get things released now that he is out of office. Funny that he never did any such thing.

And he's been called out by the CIA!

he made a nusance of himself early on with them. Pretty ballsy of him to try to call them out now that he doesnt have any power over them.
