CHENEY KNOWS: "We Will NOT See" The So-Called "CIA Torture Memos" BUSH-Exec Order BANNED Them
On NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show," Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reports on what Dick Cheney knew when he requested the release of those CIA torture memos:

DAVID IGNATIUS: We will not see (the memos that former Vice President Cheney wants released) for a long time. I'm told by the White House when Cheney made this request, he knew there had been an executive order issued by George Bush, his president, essentially banning the release of these memos during the process of litigation. So he was asking for something he knew he wouldn't get.

1. Yeah I saw that show - Typical DIck Cheney move.
We've seen this before. Reference top secret memos, assure us that he is telling the truth about them. When he isn't.

2. Called this a while ago- "release ALL the memos" was an impossible request
he and they knew ALL the memos or even the ones he asked for (gee wonder how he picked which ones to ask for :think: ) would never be released. They have a permanent talking point -BUT WE NEVER GOT TO SEE ALL THE MEMOS!!!!
