But I think what Gonzo was dancing around was
this: B*sh didn't tell him to go, someone else
told him that "B*sh wanted him to go". Most likely
Cheney.

What I SUSPECT is that Cheney has actually been issuing
orders in this fashion for a long time. He probably doesn't
even bother adding the phrase "The pResident wants you to
do this" to his commands anymore, he just gives them and
everyone follows his orders.

Probably, at some point in the past, he played a little CYA
by telling them that every order he gives is actually coming
from B*sh. But they all know damn well that such a statement
isn't gonna fool anyone, just as they know that letting Cheney
run things isn't legal.

So they're certainly going to do everything they can to NOT
tell the truth about who is really running the show, and how
he's running it.
