Well this article in the NY Daily News was pretty interesting if you want to get deep insights into what goes on in the halls of power and not take the word of the administration as the "god's honest truth" http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...exvp_dick_cheney_outraged_president_bush.html It appears that Cheney wouldn't take No for an answer and kept after Bush to pardon Scooter Libby...day after day after day after day. The end of the article is pretty interesting. It appears that Bush lost faith in Cheney over time and significantly changed the way he governed and in whom he solicited advice.
