Cheney is the one in the dock and he's outlining the parameters?!??! "Independent" takes on Orwellian connotation, and the whole charade is pure Kafka.
Shouldn't Congress be investigating all of this on its own, with no executive branch input except for testimony?
SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT:
...
There is a growing movement among those on the Hill toward this independent commission. Well, what we have gotten from congressional and administration sources, they tell us that the White House is looking at a range of options and that Vice President Dick Cheney today called key lawmakers to let them know that the administration is looking at a number of options that perhaps they would use to independently investigate this prewar intelligence. Now, they say that this is preliminary, there are no decisions that have been made on this manner. But, of course, this certainly indicates that the White House is more open than it had previously suggested or even publicly suggested for an independent probe to get to the bottom of this.
