Report Says Limited Cooperation Thwarts a Full Review of Cheney's Energy Task Force

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congressional investigators say they were unable to determine how much the White House's energy policy was influenced by the oil industry because they were denied documents by Vice President Dick Cheney about his energy task force.

Investigators also came up short trying to find out how much money various agencies spent on creating the national energy policy, a General Accounting Office report released Monday said.

The unwillingness of Cheney's office to turn over records and other information "precluded us from fully achieving our objectives" and limited its analysis, the GAO said.

The GAO unsuccessfully sued the vice president last year to release information. (snip/...)

And we have no media to pick up the ball and pursue this horseshit.

2. Like to see some young reporter make his name on this.

Or is that style gone now? I hardly think so as getting ahead has always been out there. Maybe someone is and we will hear about it later. I hate that our gov has became some thing the WH keeps us from. Each year theWH gets even more like they are Kings.

3. this ain't the way to get ahead in the corporate press...

They done bought up it all, government included. No way to throw the crooks in jail when they hold all the keys.

4. This is a a surprise, not.

This is the regime's mode of operation over and over. Remember when the pravda press was all over the WH when a Democrat was elected into it over every rumor and lie?
