What the People Don't know...

It's been the practice of previous Vice-Presidents to disclose travel expenses and the reimbursements received for visits to colleges, think tanks, and associations as is required by law for heads of governmental agencies. But the Cheney regime decided that the law didn't apply to them. They argue the technicality that the Office of the Vice-President is not an agency. Dick may be within his rights but why did he decide to change a long term practice? Clearly he doesn't want the rest of us to know what his reimbursements are. Either he is hiding something in particular or its he nature to be as secretive as possible as a matter of principle. I suspect it's the latter. But do you want to be the citizen of a country that hides information just because it can? Or would you rather live in a country that limits it secrets to only those things that need to be secret?
