All right, this is getting ridiculous. This administration is becoming positively expert at appearing in its worst light, and it's only six months old. What on earth will they do when something really serious comes up?
Granted that GAO may or may not have the authority to ask for the records. If there's no wrongdoing or collusion of some sort, why on earth not provide them? (I thought all records of government task forces were technically public records, in any event.) And what in heaven's name does providing opinions and input into a policy process have to do with petitioning government? And since when has it been possible to make an anonymous petition to government for policy change? If Cheney's going to defend himself using high-falutin' rhetoric, he should at least get the damn rhetoric right.
