22 Things Dick Cheney Can't Recall About the Plame Case

[maddezmom]

Notes from former Vice President Dick Cheney's interview with the FBI about the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert CIA identity were finally released on Friday afternoon after a lengthy legal battle. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued the Justice Department last year to obtain the interview notes; a judge finally ordered their release on October 1. In the interview, Cheney demonstrated a behavior common among Bush administration officials under investigation: he couldn't remember much of anything. Here's a non-comprehensive list of 22 things Dick Cheney claimed he couldn't recall about the Plame case, in the order they appear in the FBI's notes:

-Whether the Wilson trip was discussed during any of the visits he made to the CIA with his Chief of Staff, Scooter Libby.

-Any reaction he had to Nicholas Kristof's New York Times' article about the Wilson visit at the time the article was published.

-Whether he discussed the Wilson situation with George Tenet at their meeting on June 10, 2003.

-Who he spoke to about Joe Wilson's July 6, 2003 editorial (he did remember speaking to someone, but not who it was).

1. Now, let me make myself clear.. I feel that hiring the "differently abled"

is a good and noble thing. But it could be argued that there were too many in the previous administration suffering from that uniquely American malady CRS. I suspect that Alberto Gonzales contracted his case from the Dick.

2. Reagan had it too.

Check out the Iran-Contra inquiries.

"Well, I don't remember....well, I can't recall." He said it over and over.

3. I'm insulted by his thinking we can't see through him. What an arrogant shit.
