Cheney Ignores Gag Order In Clear Violation Of Court Order

[kpete]

Will Dick Finally Get Busted for His Leaks?
By: emptywheel Tuesday March 4, 2008 1:34 pm

I am of the opinion Dick Cheney escaped any repercussions from ordering his Chief of Staff to leak a CIA NOC's identity because Bush's Pixie Dust gave Dick the right to insta-declassify classified material as if he were King President. I wonder, though, whether Bush has Pixie Dust somewhere that will permit Dick Cheney to ignore a gag order imposed by a Court? That's what Colonel Morris Davis suggests Cheney may have done--leak a video purportedly showing Gitmo detainee Omar Khadr making a bomb to 60 Minutes (h/t TP).

Omar Khadr's defense lawyers will try to find out whether U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney's office secretly leaked a video of the detained Canadian to an American media outlet – an allegation that, if proven, would be a clear violation of court orders and further proof that the process by which Mr. Khadr is being tried is a political, not legal one, his military lawyer says.

.................

At the meeting, Lt.-Cmdr. Kuebler asked the Colonel where he thought the leak may have come from. In response, Lt. Cmdr. Kuebler said, Col. Davis offered the opinion that the Vice-President's office may have been involved.

6. Dick Cheney does not care about The LAW. He has no respect

for the law, nor can he be bothered to abide by it.

13. he does not give a crap about the law, he is and wants to be

above the law, and he is rolling in his profits, god, I hope to see the day when this disgusting cabal will receive payback for all their crimes against humanity and against the country. These are downright treasonous criminals, who took this country right down, and I wouldn't put it pass them that mc same is part of the whole setup and the continuing of PNAC agenda.

10. He is the worst kind of a thug.

He is an "official" thug. It is his boot that will be on our face forever. It will not go away unless and until the American people can retake the process. It is a daunting task.

11. I wouldn't count on it

What, Cheney brought to justice while so many of the White House lower echelon still skating away from contempt of Congress for ignoring their subpoenas?
With our dear Nancy Pelosi sitting on the only 2 indictments to be served so far for seven months?!

Clearly, 'Executive Privilege' means the President, Vice-President, and their entire staff are undoubtedly above the law.
Further, under this administration, especially considering the Democratic invertebrates who approved Mukasey as Attorney General, Cheney IS the law!

Therefore it is MHO none of us will be seeing Demi-God Dick being held responsible even for the least of his obvious crimes.


I just can't wait for these rules to work for the Democrats.
No, I'm not saying it's right -- but these pukes must be taught a lesson!
