How about this:
Dick Cheney, at a Republican fund-raiser last week, attacked anybody who dares raise questions about what the president knew about possible terrorist attacks before September 11. "Such commentary is thoroughly irresponsible and totally unworthy of national leaders in a time of war."

Cheney blasts September 11 critics

Vice President Dick Cheney lashed out Wednesday at lawmakers who have questioned whether the government missed clues prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks, calling their comments "despicable" and "outrageous."
"When members of Congress suggest that the president of the United States had foreknowledge of the attack on September 11th, I think that's outrageous, that is beyond the pale," Cheney said in an interview with CNN's Larry King Wednesday. "Somebody needs to say, that ain't criticism, that's a gross outrageous political attack, and it's totally uncalled for."
Few lawmakers have actually suggested (none that I've ever heard of) President Bush knew about the September 11 attacks in advance, but numerous members of the House and Senate -- including a handful of Republicans -- have questioned whether the government failed to recognize a series of items that, collectively, could have pointed to a pending attack on the United States.
