You do realize theres a new conspiracy theory floating among the lefties? The best one I've heard is that the 9/11 commission was threatened to change their story to make the media look bad.
Well, Cheney did set up the media by making statements the days before the release of the report about an Iraq-Al Qaeda relationship. I think the White House knew that the media would distort the report and say things that weren't true. The White House almost dared the media to do it, and the media did it. Now the White House is having fun watching the media wipe the egg off their face.
