Investigating a Dick
The investigations should be broadly defined, but their purpose made clear. If a vice president ordered the CIA to deceive Congress, he broke the law and violated his oath of office. The only way to assure that this "should never, ever happen again"--Feinstein's goal--is to hold him fully to account. Anything less would lend dangerous legitimacy to Cheney's imperial project. His machinations confirm the wisdom of having Congress members--and attorneys general--swear an oath to defend the Constitution from threats foreign and domestic.
