The real issue is this: the worst intelligence failure in American history needs to be investigated by someone other than the intel community. But that is dismissed as nonsense, by an administration that hasn't fired or even identified the incompetents.

Further, they add fuel by saying there's more to come, and nothing can be done about it. Not a popular message, when you tell Americans they have to sit there and take it. They may as well throw in the towel, unless they change that message.

The rest of it is byplay. The tone of remarks by Cheney are of a royal court: "Any questions are dispicable! And unpatriotic!"

Not good.

The way to deal with questions that cause you problems, is to answer them the best you can, not stonewall, excuse, or change the subject.

The idea of painting this as an exclusively partisan issue futher clouds credibility, when Republicans also ask for the investigation.

Americans aren't satisfied.
That's understandable.
But the secrecy and royal runaround of the administration isn't.
