This may not be it, but if it is, they are right to resist. If they were all government employees, this is a non-issue. Of course, once an accusation is made, I don't know how you prove it's not true other than by producing enough information to demonstrate who was there. Without the disclosure, people will assume the worst, which is that there were others there, or the second worst, which is that Cheney is letting his pique override the interests of his Administration.

There has, I believe, to be some area of activity within which the executive branch can discuss things in private Absolutely agree. And you know that even if those conversations with the big bad oil execs were about the weather... you can expect the Dem "leadership" with the assistance of the liberally biased media to report them as some sort of evil conspiracy. Facts don't matter to such folks. And the fact is there should be some privacy afforded such consultations. That said I still believe Cheney should have expected the way this would be played out and turned the records over acknowledging the Bush Administration was making a special accomodation to GAO. it would also have drawn a nice distinction from the criminal enterprise previously known as the Clinton Administration....
