Cheney mentions an "Executive Order" when responding to the only substantive issue he allowed Boot-Licker Britt to pose to him -- about Scooter and Treasonous National Security violations of Plamegate.
The EO expansion was issued in March of 2003. (Interesting timing, no?)
That makes the bushkid himself a willful, active, co-conspirator in the effort to out/ruin/kill? Valerie Plame in retaliation for Joe Wilson's whistleblowing on their Terorize the Nation into War caper.
The chatterers are "baffled" by how badly Cheney handled this incident. But what if we give him some credit for the 40+ years of PR saavy he is also reported to have? The "handling" may have been deliberate.
Cheney may be playing hardball against some effort to dump him, hoping to stave off impeachment**.
Who knows, may Ole Harry had volunteered to give Dick the "bad news."
In any case, Uncle Dick has just dropped Plamegate turd, steaming and stinking, on the carpet of the Oval Office.

** Don't sell them short. Unlike the Euphemedia ostriches, they really DO fear impeachment.
Just because they "create" reality for others, that doesn't mean they're ignorant of real-reality. They knew they had to steal elections to get into office, so they just got busy doing it.
(begin repeat of old, but applicable, rant)
They know they are vulnerable to public opinion and prepare for it -- by taking the American People out of the electoral loop, by terrorizing them with threats of "mushroom clouds in 45 minutes" -- they'll do what's necesary; without regard to moral or constitutional limits.
And they'll keep "winning" until "the rest of us" (through our so-called "leaders" among the DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy) finally demand that they be stopped -- and removed -- and punished -- and given up to Int'l law -- and have all their never-legitimate actions reversed. Yes, each and every one of them.
This is the "question of our time," how long can fascism prosper in an information age. We're finding out.
Who knows, the shooting of Whittington may well have been a "shot across the bow" at some "old guard" establishment Repubs who are no longer able to ignore what the PNACons are really doing to our once-great nation. He may well have been reading Cheney the riot act. He's certainly someone who would have no need to kowtow to this cabal and may well consider him just another pissant, like the idiot bushkid. Regarless of how "the story" plays out, the message is sent.
Fascism -- monarchism -- theocracy -- it's all the same thing.
A belief that a minority has the right to rule a majority*. It matters little if it's a master race, a theocracy, a family dynasty, a ruling class, or the current DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy.
This is what the stolen election of 2000 was all about. There was zero attention paid to the Will of the People of Florida and the nation. The result of the vote (not the vote count**) was well known shortly after the election when the uncounted ballots were extrapolated by precinct, and Gore won FL by tens of thousands. Any ethical, moral, real American would have conceded to Gore at that point.
(Note: It is at this point that many of you have been trained by fascist propaganda to think "electoral college" and/or "close election" and that somehow some quirk in the system makes what was perpetrated legal or constitutional or something not as disturbing as the truth.)
The contract generally known as the US Constitution was put into breach on January 6th, 2001.
It was this overruling of the will of the (former) American People that left us open to the 9-11 attack, Which was a far less important event compared with the election theft. It simply allowed the 21st Century Neo-Fascists to have their "Reichstag fire" to consolitdate control.
The more important part was that the only global force for good in the past several decades, the public opinion of the American People, was taken out of the equation. Which is why prior to the election theft we could stop plane-crashing over the Pacific at the Millenium with help from Jordanian Intelligence, and after... well, not so much. We had lost our moral ascendency, our place as the court of last resort.
Certainly this is a "kinder, gentler" fascism. But did you expect goose-stepping and racial hate speech? It's much more efficient to simply scream "Mushroom clouds in 45 minutes!!" through every Euphemedia outlet in order to terrorize a population into compliance (20 guys with boxcutters pales in comparision, doesn't it?).
But make no mistake, it is fascism pure and simple.
