The White House's initial refusal to allow Ms. Rice to testify and its cynical use of a confidential adviser as a public accuser would have been bad enough. But they fit an unpleasant pattern. This president has repeatedly abused his executive privilege while seeking to hide behind it, starting when Mr. Cheney invoked that privilege to gather business executives in secret to draft the administration's energy policy.

D for duplicity, dishonesty, dishonor.

Ted,

re: And after months of unacceptable delay, the lawyer said Mr. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney would also talk to the entire commission in private, not under oath.

I don't get this. Bush and Cheney will "talk" but not "under oath"? So the deal is "we'll talk but if we lie you can't prosecute us for perjury"?

What reason could they have for demanding not to be "under oath"?
