Question? Bush still gets PDB's correct. Does Cheney?

And what kind of problems could this present?

1. Any ex-president who wants them gets them, what problems do you forsee?

:shrug:

5. He had no problem leaking info in the past

His meddling knows no boundries.

10. Leakers tend to get prosecuted more...

...once they've left office, no?

2. why would Bush get PDB's?

Where did you read this? It makes no sense.

3. All ex-presidents can get them if they desire

[progdonkey]

6. so they can still feel presidential, I guess? :-p

Just kidding (that would really just apply to Dubya ;) ). Excluding him, past presidents all have quite a lot of experience and expertise they could offer the current president, so yeah, I can see now why they'd get the briefings.

Like, Jimmy Carter may have been president a long time ago, but he still has a lot of influence and public attention, so it'd be best for his opinions on, say, Gaza and Israel to be informed by the latest intelligence.

7. If the August 2001 one was one page imagine what his PDB 's are like now

Don't stick your tongue in the wall thingie. It is not a "power cave".

Chew your pretzels

4. Papa Bush gets them, haven't heard about junior yet.

8. Only thing that Bush is concerned with anymore is PBR's...

[Blue Dog Dominion]

9. Those are a valid concern

[Canuckistanian]

11. They never paid attention to them when they were in power

I doubt whether they'll have any influence now.
