According to the "Mouth of the Potomac," the political blog of the NY Daily News, the question posed by "watchdog groups and congressional oversight committeemen" about Dick Cheney is "What is he trying to hide?"
CREW surely fits into the category of a watchdog group asking that question:
Cheney refused to allow the archives to look at information during the probe into the cover-up of who outed CIA spy Valerie Plame. In the end, Cheney’s top aide, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was the only person charged and convicted. Libby is set to report to federal prison in a few short weeks. Cheney, de facto leader of FOLLY – Friends of Lewis Libby – is now begging President Bush to give Scooter a pardon.
"The Vice President is pretending he isn’t part of the executive branch, and the White House is pretending that the rules for protecting classified information are being followed," said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
"The only oversight of Dick Cheney is Dick Cheney," said Naomi Seligman, deputy director of the lefty legal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
