The thing about Cheney...he's completely out of touch. He still claims there are wmds - even contradicted Rumsfeld who finally admitted they weren't there. I think they should cut back on his heart meds because it's clearly affecting his brain.

Rice will appear on 60 Minutes tomorrow night!

Rice will try to gain ground in the public relations struggle Sunday by appearing on CBS's 60 Minutes, the same program Clarke used a week earlier to level his charges and promote his new book, Against All Enemies. Bush's allies in Congress also sought to declassify two-year-old testimony by Clarke, suggesting he may have lied this week when he faulted Bush's handling of the war on terror.

Legal scholars say the White House has a difficult case on its hands as it tries to defend Rice's silence.

"When courts see them coming they lock their doors and run for cover, admonishing the political branches to work out their own difficulties," said Douglas Kmiec, a Pepperdine University law professor who served as a constitutional specialist in the Reagan and first Bush administrations. "It really is a political question the judicial branch feels totally at a loss to resolve."

Princeton University politics professor Keith Whittington said administrations run the risk of looking bad when they invoke executive privilege.
