"These visits were unprecedented. Normally, vice presidents, yourself included, receive regular briefings from CIA in your office ... there is no reason for the vice president to make personal visits to CIA analysts," said the letter, which was sent late Monday.

7. DK--he's not only honest, he's FEARLESS
I'd be more than a little scared if I were him to take on Cheney, the epitome of evil. It seems more and more obvious that DK cares more about the truth and justice than he does about his own career (that's a compliment, but I am worried about what smear campaign is going to come out after this).
