I do think it is reprehensible for them to make some sort of scandal of such a gut-wrenching decision.

Oh, and PS:

From the account that I read (it was the WP, but still) I didn't come away from it angry with the Administration. Quite the opposite actually.

I was impressed with Cheney's clarity and how quickly he reached a decision. I thought he performed extremly well under such pressure.

I came away from it with respect for and confidence in Cheney because of it. No waffling, no hummm or haw.. He was very precise and very direct.

For real! Bush and Cheney don't have to run out and take a poll before springing into action. Like I said on another thread a few days ago, it doesn't matter if you agree with Bush, you have to admit, he has brought back integrity, civility, and dignity to the White House.
