Release the CHENEY Energy Task Force Notes
This is something I have not heard ANYONE talk about, yet.

One of the Bush Administration's first big "F-U's" to the American people was the refusal of Cheney to release the notes from his "Energy Task Force." (I suspect that it was in those Task Force meetings where Bush, and his cronies in the Big Oil industry first hatched their plans to invade, and divy up, Iraq's Oil reserves.)

The Obama administration should release those notes, ASAP.

3. This should be extra-notable today, as Miguel Tejada is being charged with lying to Congress
Even though the oil executives, who lied when they said they weren't part of the Energy Task Force, have yet to be charged.

4. Main reason, foreign interests in that meeting.....
....deciding the energy policy of the U.S.

I notice that ever since Shitstain vomited his bullshit about terra attacks about a week ago in Politico he has been very, very quiet. I think that Shitstain got a call from someone who told him that unless he wants to end up as the belle of the ball he should shut the fuck up.

5. Yes. Amazing isn't it - they committed so many crimes it is hard to remember
everything that needs to be addressed! anything to do with Cheney's secret meetings need to be prioritized right up to the top!

7. What do you mean? No talk from the media? Because we were
discussing this recently here and the popular opinion is that it will never happen.

It's where all the crimes of the bush** admin. were hatched.

8. I meant "the Media."
I haven't been around for a while so I don't know what's been happening here at DU.

I want some reporter to ask Obama, directly, whether he is going to release the notes, and whether he will fight any claim of Executive Privilege raised by Cheney or Bush.
