V.P.'s Identity Ruled Secret
by Stephen Pizzo | May 31 2007 -


By Will Hack, Washington Bureau Chief, NFR

August 1, 2007 - The White House announced that effective immediately the identity of the Vice President of the United States shall be deemed a state secret. Anyone who divulges the identity of the VP, in any way, will be subject to immediate arrest. The executive order covers all American citizens, including those working in the media.

The new order comes just two months after the Vice President ordered that the Secret Service shred lists of visitors to the Vice President's residence at the US Naval Observatory in Washington, DC.

According to sources that asked their identity not be revealed, the order was sparked by a direct request from the Vice President.

"We live in dangerous times," said White House spokesman Tony Snow. "Terrorists would like nothing better than to be able to kill the second in command of the United States of America. The Vice President understands that and that's what prompted the Vice President to request complete anonymity."

Asked why the anonymity order did not also cover the President Snow said it was considered, but rejected.

"Someone in the Executive Branch has to give speeches to the American public," Snow said. "The current Vice President never liked giving speeches, or for that matter even appearing in public. So it was a natural that it should be the Vice President whose identity should be protected. And, to the cynics out there I feel compelled to say that all Americans should be proud that they have a President willing to step up to the plate like that."
