Cheney/Lay colluded on energy policy April 2001, which the article I posted to you clearly states. How did you get so confused? Here's more on the fallout ~ WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The head of the General Accounting Office told CNN Friday the agency will sue Vice President Dick Cheney next week unless he agrees to provide information about the energy task force he ran last year. "I think it's appropriate to provide the administration a few days to reconsider their position. I'm hopeful that they will provide us with the information we're seeking. It is a very reasonable and reasoned request. But the fuse is short," said GAO Comptroller General David Walker. RESOURCES Read the Bush Energy Plan archives.cnn.com Walker said he would wait until after President Bush's State of the Union address Tuesday before going ahead with plans to file suit, since so many Bush administration aides are focused on that right now. But Walker said the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, had to draw the line somewhere. "This is about the right of the Congress to oversee the executive branch, the right of the GAO to assist Congress," he said. "Our concern is that never before have we had a situation where an administration has refused to provide this kind of information, whether it be a Democratic or Republican administration."
