Steve Benen at The Washington Monthly (guesting for Kevin) calls attention to the news that "Mr. Cheney did not necessarily agree with" the 4th Branch of Government claim he has been using all this time to avoid compliance with a variety of security and oversight responsibilities.

Gonzales & Co. have apparently been struggling with the question for several months. Maybe Cheney can give them a hand.
