Kentucky Gov. Withheld Records, Court Rules (Re:Cheney's visit expense)

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Gov. Ernie Fletcher and state police improperly withheld expense records for services provided when Vice President Dick Cheney was briefly in the state en route to an Indiana fundraiser, a judge ruled Monday.

The administration had invoked a new exception to the Kentucky Open Records Law that allows governments to keep some records secret if they can show their disclosure would pose a "reasonable likelihood" of being useful for plotting a terrorist attack.

Franklin County Circuit Judge Roger Crittenden ruled the administration had shown no such likelihood.

On March 28, Cheney flew in and out of Louisville, where he was driven across the Ohio River into southern Indiana to attend a political fundraising event. The state police helped provide some security, traffic control and other services.

and stealing, can they. Every move they make is another step on a criminal path.

Let the indictments continue. (Merry Fitzmas and Happy Abramoff!)

This is just the tip of the iceberg with him. There is an ongoing Grand Jury over a huge hiring scandal. He has pardoned all of his staff and given them amnesty from any future charges placed against them.

Just disclose it and pay it out of campaign funds if necessary. Big deal.
And why is there a special exemption for a "terrorist attack" plot? What if the next VP is in danger from a white supremicist group, or the NRA? Would the law still apply, or is this only for turbaned terrorists?
