Cheney's secretive approach....

...it's an 'approach' to screw the government and taxpayers at the same time. Typical Dick Cheney...Where's the outrage?

Over the past four years, Cheney has made 275 speeches and appearances, including 23 speeches to think tanks and trade organizations and 16 to colleges and universities, according to the center's research. By calling it "official travel," the center said, the public has been footing the bill rather than the group sponsoring his speech. If outside groups -- such as trade associations and schools -- aren't paying the tab for Cheney's appearances, then who is? The taxpayers, according to the Center for Public Integrity. "Cheney's office also appears to have stuck taxpayers with untold millions in travel costs rather than accepting trip sponsors' funds that the rules would require to be disclosed," the center's report states. Government ethics experts say Cheney's approach to travel disclosure is emblematic of his approach to government. "His approach is to provide as little information as possible and to look for ways to avoid public accountability," said Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis and an expert on government ethics. "Certainly, it is emblematic of his secretive approach to governance."
