Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal judge has ordered the Bush administration to release information about who visited Vice President Dick Cheney's office and personal residence, an order that could spark a late election season debate over lobbyists' White House access.
The Washington Post asked for two years of White House visitor logs in June but the Secret Service refused to process the request. Government attorneys called it "a fishing expedition into the most sensitive details of the vice presidency."
What 'sensitive details' would be in the visitor logs? Pretty much what you'd expect -- who visited, when, and, maybe, how long. They wouldn't record what was discussed.
Wow, How intrusive!
It's hard to see how this 'fishing expedition' could turn up anything damning in itself, but allow me to hazard a guess here. WaPo needs the logs to confirm something they already know.
Something that's probably unpleasant.
