The investigative arm of Congress said today that it would not appeal its lawsuit against Vice President Cheney, handing the Bush administration a complete victory in its effort to keep confidential the identities of private groups that provided advice in forming a national energy policy.
The decision is a major retreat for the General Accounting Office, which filed the unprecedented lawsuit after the vice president's office refused to turn over the information sought. GAO recently lost a decision in federal district court, and the shift in control of the Senate to Republican hands meant that the majority party in both chambers opposed the GAO action.

I don't know where his gnat suit is. Whether it's still alive or it's gone with the wind.... He started with a FOIA action and then moved it to the Courts after essentially being told to go pound sand.

Dare we hope for a holy dispensation from Babs?
