Breaking News: Politician Accused of Hiding Information!

Not a day goes by anymore without a politician being accused of doing something underhanded. So, it should come as no real surprise that the Democrats are accusing Vice President Cheney of being "too secretive" with various bits of information.

Democrats Attack Cheney for Secrecy (TheGlobeAndMail.com)

I do wonder sometimes if the author of such news articles reviews their writing prior to publishing. One line in this particular news item that got me cross-eyed and chuckling was, "Cheney came under fresh Democratic criticism for secrecy ... as a top lawmaker vowed to investigate his handling of classified national security documents." I thought "classified national security documents" were supposed to be secret. I know, I know. Congress has access, by law, to certain of these documents. But the article never specifically states which documents are in question. It is more of a procedural qualm, apparently.

Personally, the way our politicians are going (which is very similar to watching professional wrestling), I find it hard to trust any of them with these precious "classified" documents. Let's just hope something of our national security stays classified. Otherwise, it won't be long until our country is simply sold to the highest bidder (probably China).

UGH!
