Judge: Cheney allowed to determine which records to preserve

Dick Cheney won a case for preserving the dark lord's archives. A judge ruled in favor of his argument that his office is not technically part of the executive branch, and thus not covered by the Presidential Records Act. As an aspiring historian who spends his time with government documents, many of which are pointless and boring, I can guarantee you that Cheney should not be permitted to exploit this loophole. This is part and parcel of the Bush administration's penchant for secrecy and pushes to close documents for interminable periods of time.
