Can you imagine the media frenzy if Dick Cheney had written a memo to a high-ranking military officer or the head of a federal agency telling them what to say in their testimony about Halliburton? It would be in such large type above the fold at the NY Times and the Washington Post that the headlines wouldn’t fit on the front page. And it would be front page news for even longer than Abu Ghraib.
and in lights, the hooha from the left would have been deafening.
