As Vice President, Dick Cheney exchanged memoranda that he had stamped "treat as classified." The Vice President does not have the power to establish his own classification system, so no matter what the stamp says, these documents are NOT classified.
We request that Obama order the appropriate agency to weed out any justifiably classifiable information (sources and methods only) and publish ALL of the rest of Cheney's memoranda online.

Governmental papers such as former VP Cheney's papers on his "secret meetings" with oil companies belong to the people and should be made available for openess in government operations. This may help discover why Cheney wanted a U.S. preemptive invasion of Iraq to have access to large reserves of oil that the oil companies could take advantage of.
