Hil blasts Team Bush 'pattern' of secrecy


WASHINGTON - The White House's failure to come clean about the vice president's shooting of a 78-year-old fellow hunter is part of a pattern of unacceptable secrecy, Sen. Hillary Clinton charged yesterday.

"A tendency of this administration from the top all the way to the bottom is to withhold information, to resist legitimate requests for information, to refuse to be forthcoming," Clinton (D-N.Y.) said.

"Putting it all together going back years now, there is a pattern that should be troubling," she said, apparently referring to the CIA leak case, Cheney's secret meetings with energy execs and White House refusal to release documents relating to judicial nominees.

1. IT'S PART OF A VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY

For real. No shit. No tin-foil hat needed.

Face the facts, America. It IS a vast right wing conspiracy arising out of a Republican culture of corruption.

The Secret State. The Corrupt State. The Big BushCo State.

3. Started with day one and Bush*'s refusal to obey Presidential

Papers Act. A Congressional LAW that requires the release of Presidential Papers after twelve years of leaving office. Both Reagan and Bush 1 are beyond that time frame and Reagan was when Bush* came to office. Bush* just wrote an executive order that said he didn't have to follow the law and not one Senator, Hillary included, said a damn word...Breaking existing law was how Bush* began his time in office and things have not changed a bit..

4. She is right on target with this one.

5. Yep

6. It should have been troubling from the beginning

The day that * signed the Executive Order closing Reagan's Presidential Records (which were to become the property of the American people on 1/20/01). That was back in 2001. Few noticed because the EO was signed after 9/11.

8. just as the framers of the constitution intended:

government for the corporations, by the corporations and of the corporations, and all done covertly because the people are just too stupid to be informed. The people, WHO?

9. as much as I want to agree with her...

I cant think of any administration since WWII that didnt have pattern of secrecy. This one may come close to topping the list but please. To think that they are the only ones who would do this is naive. I can bet you anything something like this will happen again. It always does

11. ah, so its ok because THE OTHER GUY did it. Nice logic.

Al Gore just as secretive as Dick Cheney? Uh huh.

12. Its interesting...

that you read my comment as an endorsement or excuse and not as a simple fact. A pronouncement of the fact that the system we have breeds corruption, deceit and secrecy is not
not a statement of approval. Do you really think that future administrations will be less secretive? What compounds the problem for this administration is that in addition to the inherrent institutional deceitfulness there is a very high level of personal dishonesty. We simply cant trust them with anything.
