Another scandal ready to explode for Cheney...that energy commission
The Court of Appeals has ruled that he has to reveal who was on it. It will go to the Supreme Court, probably, but they won't touch it.

Expect trouble when that comes out.

2. We know the 'who'
...it's the 'what' they're trying to protect.

Prospective deals with the pre-9/11 Taliban and post-Saddam Iraq oilfield homesteading.

The boat bounces off the bottom at that point.

3. What happens if he still refuses to comply?
Or worse, renders the evidence unreadable, which is sneakier, but done all the time.

5. I've always wondered if there were any non-citizens in the meetings
I always thought that the most scandalous thing would be that non-citizens were helping to make US Energy Policy and that in the process they may have been privy to "security" info that could be used against the US, or could have felt encouraged to encourage other people who don't like us. Nah, that would be unthinkable. Of course Lame Dick's excuse up to now has been "National Security".

7. No wonder they've sent up the trial balloon that
Cheney might be off the ticket... it looks like that could happen, and they want to see how the big money supporters will react.

8. HOW can they get reelected if that's in the energy report?
I mean, a whole lot of Americans are fat, lazy and asleep, or overworked and don't have time to think a lot....(by design, I suspect).

But, LYING so BLATANTLY about why we had to kill people and get our soliders killed? No way. Not even the average sheep would stand for that. If these bastards actually were arrogant enought to plan this shit, then it may spell the end of America as we know it...we're going to have to get redeemed.

By the way, I'm watching "Wag the Dog". If this is really like it is, American needs this wakeup call. We need to get a new paradigm.

11. Scalia et al. will take Cheney's side.
Believe it. This gang plays for keeps. They don't care about anything except amassing power. And Cheney WILL NOT take the fall. He's ducked responsibility for everything he's every screwed up.
