Harry Reid: Cheney is Root of It All

As Scooter Libby plead "not guilty" on Thurs, Reid seems ready to keep giving 'em hell. TheNewRepublic: "Reid made it clear that he believes the delay in the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation of prewar Iraq WMD (the underlying issue behind Tue's closed session) is entirely attributable to Cheney. "Nothing happens regarding intelligence gathering ... unless it's signed off on by the Vice Pres," he said. "Senate Intelligence chairman Pat Roberts couldn't do it"--i.e., Roberts couldn't conduct a full investigation w/out Cheney's approval. When asked if Reid meant to state so flatly that Cheney was personally and directly stalling the Intelligence Committee's work, he didn't pause a beat. In fact he almost stood from his chair. "Yes. I say that w/out any qualification ... Circle it." Holy crap! Who put steroids in Harry's oatmeal?
