Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s request to declassify certain documents that he said will show the effectiveness of Bush administration interrogation policies has been denied, reports Cheney biographer Stephen Hayes:
A letter dated May 7, 2009, from the CIA’s Information and Privacy Coordinator, Delores M. Nelson, rejected Cheney’s request because the documents he has requested are involved in a Freedom of Information Act court battle. “In researching the information in question, we have discovered that it is currently the subject of pending FOIA litigation (Bloche v. Department of Defense, Amnesty International v. Central Intelligence Agency). Therefore, the document is excluded from Mandatory Declassification Review,” Nelson wrote in the letter to the National Archives, the agency responsible for handling Cheney’s request.
So what’s going on with the litigation?

Your FDA recommended dose of irony (from the Weakly Standard link):
‘“So, because Amnesty International has filed a broad FOIA request for detainee related materials, the American people are unable to see memos that document the effectiveness of our detainee program.”‘

The Attorney General, the Democratic Congress and Obama

WHY?
What do they get out of refusing to enforce our Federal Law on Torture?
TORTURE IS A FEDERAL Capital CRIME
SEE The Law http://tinyurl.com/besdd3
The only way AG Holder can affirm the Rule Of Law is by Enforcement.
There is no other way.
WHY IS OBAMA PROTECTING BUSH AND CHENEY?
They obviously violated Federal Law.
