FBI Cheney article at Rawstory is up

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has responded to a request from a San Francisco-based blogger for Vice President Dick Cheney’s FBI file—but has been withholding its release since September 2005, RAW STORY has learned.

In a letter to blogger Michael Petrelis, of PetrelisFiles.com, the section chief for the FBI’s records management division acknowledged in August 2005 that the bureau had located some 780 pages on the vice president. Petrelis then agreed to pay for all copying costs.

To date, Petrelis hasn’t received a single page on Cheney.

Petrelis made the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2004 along with a request for files relating to President George W. Bush. He requested that the files be expedited in Sept. 2004, a month before the presidential election, citing the fact that myriad pages of Sen. John Kerry’s (D-MA) FBI files had already been released. He received 20 pages on President Bush in April 2005.

The FBI public affairs unit referred calls to the FOIA office. An aide in the FOIA office said that 783 pages had been approved for release but that the case had not been closed. Loren Shaver, listed as the contact on the FBI letters, did not return a call seeking comment.
