Though, to be honest, it's not just Cheney -- it's a whole bunch of Republicans saying that calling for investigation of US intelligence failures is the same thing as saying the President could have prevented 2001.09.11. The former is a lot more reasonable than the latter, and that's why lots of people are saying the former but few are saying the latter. (And it's about time someone like Joshua Micah Marshall called Cheney on being the bully he is.)
