"If You've Got Nothing To Hide. . ."
Inspired by another thread:

If you've got nothing to hide, you shouldn't mind having your information gathered. So, Dick Cheney shouldn't mind releasing the notes from the Energy Task Force, if he has nothing to hide.

Well, that logic just turned sour on them, didn't it?

4. That only applies to those who question the little wannabe dictator
and his merry band of thugs. Remember when Pinhead said that he doesn't have to answer anyones' questions, that people have to answer to him but he doesn't feel he needs to answer to anyone. That's the interesting thing about being pResident, is the way he put it. :eyes: And I imagine that Dick feels the same about being vice pResident.

5. The Question Still Stands, Doesn't It?
"But if you've got nothing to hide. . ." I guess my point is that someone, somewhere ought to be using their own language against them.

7. You Have Gotten My Point
Their logic is that if one has nothing to hide, then they shouldn't mind the probing and shouldn't have to keep secrets. Well, they're keeping secrets. Ergo, they must have something to hide.
